Almost all branches of "scientific" thought (most of it wasn't science at the time by modern standards) were allowed to explore whatever they wanted under the Church too. Newton got famous 35 years after Galileo and he was allowed to invent calculus and perform all kinds of whacky experiments with alchemy. The church didn't care.
