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.

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.
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.

What major event allowed the Roman Catholic Church to weaken?

Did the reformation strengthen Catholicism or weaken it in Europe?
A: Arguably, the Catholic Church became spiritually atronger because it was forced to face up to its moral failings in past centuries, but at the same time weaker because it could no longer command blind obedience from all Christians. This last was a gradual process and even up to Second Vatican Council in 1965, it was the Church's view that only the Catholic Church had the right to freedom from persecution.
