Question

Why did the Church see the heliocentric view of the solar system as a challenge to its authority?

The heliocentric view, if correct, might mean God did not put humans at the center of the universe.

It was forbidden to disagree with medieval thinkers who had opposed heliocentrism.

The Church viewed the heliocentric theory as a return to pagan sun worship.

The pope had declared that the Bible was the only source of scientific knowledge.

Answer 2

This excerpt is about Galileo
He was challenging the doctrine of the church and therefore challenging the legal authority of the church. At the time, the church was the legal authority of the land and anything that went against the church's doctrine of what the Bible said, was considered heresy and punishable by excommunication, imprisonment, or death.
