The Gutenberg printing press had a vast and important influence on Europe. Firstly, it allowed for the printing of the Bible in the vernacular. This lead to common people being less dependent on the church, as it eliminated the need for them to read the Bible for those who could not read Latin. Secondly, it allowed for the printing of works such as Spiritual Exercises or The Index if Prohibited Books, which had large influence in Europe at the time. The printing of books led to the spread of Protestant, Calvinist, Lutheran, and radical ideals. Without the movable type printing press, many of these ideas would not have spread or gained such a following. The attention brought to these religions caused the Catholic Church to loose a following, as they had already been under critique. The press helped shape the religions which would impact Europe for generations.
