Question

According to the essay "impact of the protestant reformation." the invention of the ____________________ in the fifteenth century created an avenue for some to hear and read what scripture really said.

Answer 1

The invention of the printing press by Gutenberg

protestant movements succeeded a great deal because of the invention of the printing press which enabled people to access the bible and theological materials and compare them with the status quo of the catholic church. The catholic church had long abused the ignorance of the laymen in access in the bible to come up with dogmas and canon laws that are un-Biblical. Some of the catholic liturgical traditions are yet to be repealed.
