Whether it was as Anti-Science as depicted is debatable and open for discussion. I believe that thoughts in this regard have been hijacked by Anti-Clerical and Secular Atheists and due to that the actual truth is a matter of the perspective given to the question of Science in relation to the Church.

I am not saying it's not possible that the Church underestimated the power of science and actually helped to bring to life something which in the end killed her but I think that is perfectly logical and sensible to have doubts on the faith of people who invested so heavily in science research.

The Church is far from dead, it is however in decline but not due to Science primarily. It is in decline because it neglects certain principles that it should have continued to adhere to or because of ethico-moral corruption of the Clergy itself.
Even the Church itself suffers from currents of Liberalism, rather than being a bulwark in favour of a Traditional livelihood and a decent enemy of Materialism and Consumerism, two vices that grip the West, and which are the by-product of the loss of all Spiritual and Religious values within European Civilisation.
