Why did the Church resist changes taking place during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance that were leading to the Scientific Revolution?

Because the Church knew that if it did that, it would eventually lose power and that such a stance towards the renaissance and the scientific revolution would make it lose followers in the world and have less and less power in the world.
