The most responsible factor for preventing the Church from stopping the Protestant Reformation is the invention of the printing press. The printing press allowed for the rapid spread of Reformation ideas, including Martin Luther's writings, across Europe, enabling these ideas to gain traction and support quickly, which made it difficult for the Church to suppress them effectively.
