The Catholic Church hindered Galileo and Descartes in their work. Galileo faced significant opposition from the Church due to his support for the heliocentric model of the solar system, which contradicted the Church's teachings. He was ultimately tried by the Inquisition and placed under house arrest. Descartes, while not directly persecuted like Galileo, also navigated a complex relationship with the Church as he sought to establish a scientific and philosophical framework that sometimes challenged existing theological views.
