It basically birthed Protestantism by printing Bibles in German instead of Latin.

From a Renaissance perspective, it allowed for the mass reproduction of classical texts, meaning that manuscripts no longer had to be copied by hand at great expense and effort by trained individuals (priests/monks) and the end product, the book, wasn't as highly valued and kept locked away. The base availability of these texts, upon which a great deal of European cultural thought at the time was predicated, allowed for the beginning of the development and proliferation of 'modern' ideas. Though the objective value of these ideas can be debated, their influence on European cultural transition in a linear sense is undeniable.

Trick question. The press wasn't important for Europe's cultural development. All it did was promote reading, subsequently creating a bunch of fukken nerds. This is best demonstrated by the classical "GutenbergChan", an "Image Board" that involved all the town faggots coming together to post anonymous notes, prints, and illustrations on a wooden board in the town square. And I gotta tell you... Memes were so much better back then.
