Studying the Universe is conceptualizing a mental construct.. The distance is too great to be accurate.. The scope is too broad to be visual.. and the depth of it is too deep to be measured.. The finite mind is too weak to contain it all.. (whatever all is/means).. All we can know is what appears to be the case.. which might not be the case at all.. dimensionally..

The Catholics believed that the individual should not study the Bible, the word of God.

They believed only an ordained Priest could define the word of God and that it was dangerous for the lay person to read for himself, that somehow The Catholic church was the interpreter/ filter on earth of God's will.

I do not believe that and I do not believe the church is the filter or the interpreter of the universe, this implies contradiction or deception where none exists.
