    • The division within the Catholic Church, known as the Protestant Reformation, was brought about by the print revolution because it allowed for the rapid and widespread circulation of dissenting ideas, most notably Martin Luther’s Ninety-Five Theses. The ability to print and distribute materials widely fostered new debates, enabled reformers to reach a broad audience beyond the clergy, and allowed for a greater emphasis on individuals reading religious texts for themselves, fundamentally challenging the Church’s authority and leading to a schism.
