Tommaso Campanella certainly was and was jailed by the Inquisition. Although like Giordano Bruno, it is hard to know exactly which of his many nonstandard beliefs the Church disliked more. Campanella wrote a book attacking Aristotle ("Philosophy demonstrated by the senses"), but he also was into astrology and magic and was also a sort of proto-Marxist with his "City of the Sun" utopia.
