D. the printing press allowed for information to spread quickly
The printing press played a crucial role in the spread of Protestantism during the sixteenth century by enabling the widespread distribution of revolutionary texts, including Martin Luther's "95 Theses" and other writings that articulated Protestant ideas. This facilitated rapid dissemination of reformist thoughts and challenged the established Catholic Church's authority.
