No, they were thwarted by Capitalism, not science.

Independent scientific research yused to be funded by Governments, and 
by foundations and universities with no direct interest in the outcomes. 
Regulatory agencies were there to validate _independent_ research, not 
rubber stamp the PR department massaged and legal department obscured 
reports of people who's living depends on their bosses getting the 
answers they want.

A better example is continental drift, which had to wait for a 
generation of geologists to die out. Science is like that, and in the 
scheme of things, a step on the learning  curve of a generation is 
pretty short compared to how long it will take the Catholic Church to 
addapt to a world with the complex interaction of birth control, condoms 
  and sexually transmitted diseases.
