Seldom do governments (the church was a govenment in the middle ages) operate in a vacumn away from technology. Johannes Gutenberg's work in the printing press began in approximately 1436 when he partnered with Andreas Dritzehen—a man he had previously instructed in gem-cutting—and Andreas Heilmann, owner of a paper mill.

The Church discouraged the laity from reading. When the Bible was translated into the vernacular instead of only Latin, the Church objected. The hierarchy did NOT want the laity to read ANYTHING (much less the holy book) for themselves. They were to rely on the priesthood to tell them what to think.
