A very odd question. The Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, and as such has a divine origin and is divinely guaranteed. Further it is guided by the Holy Spirit and will not fail, will, in fact, be here until the end of the world.

How did the Catholic Church tax policies weaken the church?
In most countries, in most times, the Catholic Church only taxes the parishes, not individuals.

How did the Scientific Revolution weaken the Catholic Church?
The "Scientific Revolution" did not weaken the Catholic Church, the Scientific Revolution was brought about by the Catholic Church. Nearly everyone who contributed to it for centuries was Catholic, in many notable cases, they were even clergy or monks. People of a protestant or secular viewpoint often make the claim that the scientific revolution led to a weakening of the Church because the Church relied on things not seen, while science relied on provable facts, but this is a straw argument, and doesn't touch the reality that everyone actually doing the science was a Catholic.
How did the teaching of humanism weaken the power of the Roman Catholic Church?
Humanism promoted a focus on individual reason and critical thinking, encouraging people to question authority including that of the Church. This shift undermined the Church's absolute power by fostering ideas of secularism and human potential. The emphasis on human potential also led to a greater appreciation for secular education and knowledge, further diminishing the Church's monopoly on intellectual authority.

What effect did Pope Clement V have on the Catholic Church?

The long term effect of the Avignon papacy was to weaken the influence of the Catholic Church and hasten that decline that resulted in the protestant revolt two centuries later.
Is it wrong to be catholic and attend Presbyterian Church?
The answer depends on what you mean by attend a Presbyterian Church. Sometimes in cases where a couple are a "mixed religion" that is to say one is Catholic but the other is not, it is not uncommon for either party to attend the parishes of each other. In other words the Catholic always attends Mass, but then also attends the Church of their spouse. In this case, this is not wrong provided attending the Church of ones spouse does not weaken or damage or otherwise threaten the Faith of the Catholic, or provided the Church the Catholic attends in addition to attending Mass faithfully is not explicitly or implicitly anti-catholic. However if one is Catholic but simply chooses to attend a non-catholic Christian Church, some red flags are raised. Why does such a person want to attend a non-catholic church? Why does such a person consider themselves Catholic when they do not want to attend Mass? Actions are extremely important to pointing to what one believes. Therefore one who calls themselves "Catholic" yet never attends Mass, or never attends a Catholic parish, but a Protestant Church is by their actions showing that they reject the Catholic Faith and have embraced another Faith. That, therefore is considered sinful provided the conditions for "Sin" are met.
How did king Edward's reign weaken the Roman Catholic church?
It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. . If you are referring to Edward VI of England, Henry VIII's son, he was the first English monarch to take the throne, who had been raised as a protestant. As he was only nine when he took the throne, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, forced through a new protestantizing of the English Church. Under Henry VIII's reign, he had removed the Church from the Pope, but it had remained with Catholic ceremony and belief. Under Edward VI all of that was removed and it became a recognizable protestant religion.
