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.
First of all, it's just the Catholic Church, not the Roman Catholic Church. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is rarely used by the Catholic Church. . Secondly, the Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, guided by the Holy Spirit for the purpose of leading all men to heaven. The Church, thus, is not in the business of science except the metaphysical sciences and theology. Nor, for that matter, does the "Catholic Church" have "opinions" or "feelings" about things. . Thirdly, any specific scientific discovery, if brought to the Church for a judgment, would be judged if it was in alignment with God's Will and Purpose for us. In that case, you would need to ask a question about a specific invention. "Discoveries" covering natural matters would be morally neutral or good, as all of nature was created out of nothing by God. . Fourth, most of the scientific discoveries were made by Catholics, many even by Catholic priests and religious; some of those were scorned by protestant worthies while being accepted by the Church.
