The introduction to Copernicus' major work on heliocentricism was written by Andreas Osiander, a prominent Lutheran theologian.
On the other hand, the book was dedicated to Pope Paul III, so go figure.
"It must be noted that the foreword by Andreas Osiander was not authorized Copernicus, and that Osiander, who oversaw the book’s printing, included it without the author’s knowledge and without identifying Osiander as its author."
