Why was the copernican model a controversial proposition

I believe this question refers to the extremely charged nature of his model. The world in his day was almost completely controlled by the Catholic Church. His heliocentric model suggested that the earth was not, indeed, the centeer of the universe, and Catholic officials and clergy took this to be a dirrect attack on the priveleged place they believed man held in God's plan.
