I really enjoyed this particular post by Sylvia because her musings on the Catholic Church and deceit through how many were illiterate before the printing press have a very distinct reality. I can completely agree with Sylvia on this topic. It is very true that many more people became educated with the newfound mass production of books through the improved printing press by Gutenberg, and through this people were also opened up to so many other opportunities and ideas of their own. And in a way, we can really thank the printing press for so many things beyond just literacy because literacy allows us to understand and comprehend, which allows us to think and develop our own opinions, which allows us to become and define our own person, and that's probably one of the most important contributions to diversity in our world.
