You say that like it's happened, or that it would be a bad thing if it did.
Well, I don't know if its actually happened (though Galileo definitely got lifetime house arrest over "heretical astronomy").
I'm sure his arrest was merely "until he repented of his heresy" and quite justified. The heresy, of course, has little to do with the astronomy and rather was his add-on claim that his findings proved Holy Scripture to be errant.
