The Protestant Reformation in Europe was significantly enabled by the printing press because it allowed:
AThe Pope to control religious doctrine more tightly
BMartin Luther's pamphlets to spread rapidly across Europe
CThe Catholic Church to translate the Bible into Latin
DKing Henry VIII to print his marriage annulments
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Martin Luther's pamphlets to spread rapidly across Europe
The printing press allowed Luther's '95 Theses' (1517) and his subsequent pamphlets to spread across Europe within weeks. Luther himself said 'Printing is the ultimate gift of God'. The Church responded with the Index of Prohibited Books (1558).
