The primary hindrance for both Galileo and Descartes in their work was **the Catholic Church**. Galileo faced significant opposition from the Church due to his support of heliocentrism, which contradicted the Church's geocentric view. Descartes also navigated a complex relationship with religious authorities, as his philosophical ideas challenged established doctrines.
