It all started in the catholic church. they didn't want people getting big ideas so they toned down the riots by preaching Humanism.
Humanism revived the interest in ancient Greek and roman thought. Basically it brought back the Greek and roman ideas in a new light.
Humanism includes ideas such as rationalism and empiricism over fideism.
The four central ideas of humanism are human potential and dignity, reason and science, ethics and social justice, and secularism and individualism. Humanism emphasizes the worth and agency of individuals, the importance of critical thinking and evidence-based inquiry, the promotion of fairness and equality in society, and the separation of church and state.

Humanism really promoted education and the free exchange of ideas
Two Renaissance ideas that influenced the Reformation were humanism, which emphasized the importance of individual thinking and studying classical texts, and the focus on individual interpretation of religious texts, which challenged the authority of the Church.
The printing press, invented by Johannes Gutenberg in the mid-15th century, played a significant role in spreading ideas of humanism. This invention allowed for the mass production of books and pamphlets, making humanist texts more accessible and widespread. This facilitated the dissemination of humanist ideas across Europe during the Renaissance.

Roman Catholic AnswerAs the Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, it would be impossible for any teaching to "weaken" it, or its power as its power is that of Our Blessed Lord. Probably the most influence that humanism had on the Church was the fact that it paved the wave for the protestant revolt, which drew uncounted numbers of people away from the saving Sacraments of Jesus in the Church.
