Kirkonmiehet uhkasivat Galileoa kidtuksella ja elävältä polttamisella jos Galileo ei kumoa tähtitiedettä koskevia tutkimustuloksiaan. Kirkonmiehet esittelivätkin Galileolle kidutusvälineet joita käytettiin mm "harhaoppisia" ja "noitia" vastaan. Kidutuksen seurauksena hän olisi mahdollisesti vakavasti ja pysyvästi vammautunut, tai menettänyt henkensä. Galileo kielsi omat teoriansa pakon edessä, siitä huolimatta että ne olivat tuonajan edistyksellisimmät ja parhaiten havaintoihin sopivat tieteenteoriat.
Tunnustuksen jälkeen Galioleo tuomittiin vankeuteen joka muutettiin hänen vanhan ikänsä takia kotiarestiksi.

A month later (June 21), by order of the Pope, he was given an examination of intention, a formal process that involved showing the accused the instruments of torture. At this proceeding, he said, "I am here to obey, and have not held this [Copernican] opinion after the determination made, as I said."
On June 22, 1633, the Inquisition held the final hearing on Galileo, who was then 69 years old and pleaded for mercy, pointing to his "regrettable state of physical unwellness". Threatening him with torture, imprisonment, and death on the stake, the show trial forced Galileo to "abjure, curse and detest" his work and to promise to denounce others who held his prior viewpoint.
According to Andrew Dickson White, in A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom (III.iii), 1896, Galileo's experiences demonstrate a classic case of a scholar forced to recant a scientific insight because it offended powerful, conservative forces in society: for the church at the time, it was not the scientific method that should be used to find truth—especially in certain areas— but the doctrine as interpreted and defined by church scholars, and White documented how this doctrine was defended by the Church with torture, murder, deprivation of freedom, and censorship.

Samalla historian kirjoissa todetaan, että Galileon kanssa erimieliset tiedemiehet saivat käännettyä paavin pään Galileota vastaan väittämällä tämän juonittelevan kirkkoa vastaan. Yhtä aikaa Galileolla on useita tukijoita kirkon korkeissa viroissa olevien joukossa. Mustavalkoinen ajattelu yksinkertaistaa, mutta ei kerro tapahtumista paljoakaan.
Galileolla oli vaikutusvaltaisia ystäviä, muutoin kirkko olisi hänet tappanut, hitaasti ja tuskallisesti, kuten tiedämme.
kirkko, jos tuo pitää paikkansa, päästi Galilein pannasta vasta nyt? Mikä syy oli pitää pannaa voimassa näinkin kauan?
Nykyaikana Galileoa uhkaisi vankila tai kemiallinen kidutus mielisairaalassa.
hänethän armahdettiin vasta 1986... vähä pitkä odotusaika...
