The correct answer is - The model was against religious teachings.

The religion, namely the Christianity, in this period still had huge power, political, social, religious, and according to its teachings, the Earth was the center of the universe, and all other objects on the sky were orbiting around it. When Copernicus came out with his heliocentric model, he was ridiculed because he didn't had any proof, and also the church was not willing to admit by any means that their teachings are wrong because it was going to do a lot of harm on their credibility. They only accepted the heliocentric model after there were proofs for it, and that was a big blow for the church and its power in the society.
