copernicus ideas threatened the catholic church because
o they threatened enlightenment ideas.
o they argued forcefully in favor of the divine right of kings.
o they criticized the doctrines of the catholic church.
o they originated in poland.

Explanation:

Copernicus proposed the heliocentric model (sun - centered universe), which went against the Church - supported geocentric (Earth - centered) view. This was a direct criticism of Church - endorsed cosmological doctrines. The Enlightenment came after Copernicus. His ideas had no relation to the divine right of kings. Originating in Poland was not the reason for the threat.

Answer:

they criticized the doctrines of the Catholic Church.
