Or they'd prosecute them like witches, treat them as false idols, murder them as heretics or found entire museums of horribly inaccurate science in a determined attempt to combat the blatantly obvious. All perfectly viable answers from Christianity over the years.

If you want something more recent, radicalised factions like ISIS suddenly make the Maidens a target in the interest of preserving their own twisted view of their religion.

When describing how religions might react to something, you don't even have to approach the official Church stance as any severe reaction from believers could easily be reason for not revealing their existence to the public.
