    The Catholic Church condemned those who questioned the church's teachings as heretics because they proved harmful to their power. People could not express their scientific discoveries as these discoveries would debunk many of the things that the church taught their people. It should be noted that the church was already losing power because of protestants, so new discoveries that made them less powerful were targeted.
