Kirkonmiehet uhkasivat Galileoa kidtuksella ja elävältä polttamisella jos Galileo ei kumoa tutkimustuloksiaan. Kirkonmiehet esittelivät Galileolle kidutusvälineet joita käytettiin harhaoppisia ja noitia vastaan.
Galileo kielsi omat teoriansa pakon edessä, siitä huolimatta että ne olivat tuonajan edistyksellisimmät tieteenteoriat.

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.
