What impact would the printing press have on religious reform movement of the 1500?

The printing press was instrumental in spreading the ideas of the religious reform movement of the 1500s, such as the Protestant Reformation led by Martin Luther. It allowed for faster and wider dissemination of texts like Luther's Ninety-Five Theses, leading to increased literacy and the ability for individuals to engage directly with religious texts. This helped undermine the authority of the Catholic Church and contributed to the rise of various Protestant denominations.
