Bruno managed to piss off most of Europe one way or the other. It's not even clear that the Copernican theory was even a factor in his trial. There was a long list of his heretical views and he was stupid enough to return to Italy. Robert Bellarmine SJ was one of the judges in both the Bruno and Galileo trials. The Church was aware of Copernicus's theory and found it interesting. One problem was Copernicus couldn't offer any proof and his system wasn't any better than Ptolemy's theory. It was the Protestants that attacked him based on the bible. It took 70 years for it to become politicized.
