Gutenberg was Catholic, the first thing printed was the “Gutenberg Bible”, a Latin Vulgate Mazarin Bible. The Church fully embraced the printing press, and is why it became so widespread. The Pope (Pius II) praised the printing press and it was used for everything from Bibles to administrative documents. It wasn’t till *after* Martin Luther that there was official censorship, aimed at heretical books, never printing itself, and never on the Bible. The Church even produced the Douay-Rheims English Bible, decades before the KJV. Even before the printing press, the Church actively encouraged laity to engage in scripture, even illiterate laity would try to procure at least a gospel or a psalter (which was incredibly costly). This, and literacy, was actively encouraged both in the pre-schism Church and throughout the post-schism medieval period, East and West. Claims of printing bans is false, simply anti-Catholic rhetoric. This takes only a few minutes to research, and thank God that modern technology makes this so easy to discern. In the end, all lies die, only Truth remains.
