Catholicism was weakened by the invention of the printing press.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The invention of the printing press facilitated the spread of the Bible and other religious texts in the vernacular, which allowed people to interpret religious texts for themselves rather than relying solely on the Catholic Church's interpretation. This contributed to the Protestant Reformation and weakened the Catholic Church's control over Christian doctrine and practice.
