That despite the silly claims of modern-day atheists, the Catholic Church has always supported the advancement of science.
When you lie, you lie big. You surely know of the Inquisition and Galileo. You should remind yourself of it:

There are many other examples, but one is enough to prove absolutely that you are writing bullshit when you say "the Catholic Church has always supported the advancement of science."
Undoubtedly, many scientists noticed what happened to Galileo, and did not pursue many scientific ideas in order to avoid the Inquisitors. So it would be impossible to give a list of everyone affected by that international pedophile ring to which you are devoted.
