Detailed Solution

The above statement is true;
Even among working-class individuals with less education, printed and popular religious literature promoted a variety of unique personal interpretations of the faith. The Italian miller Manocchio started reading the books available in his area in the sixteenth century. He developed a vision of God and Creation and reinterpreted the Bible's message in a way that infuriated the Roman Catholic Church.

Concerned about the consequences of popular readings and questions of faith, the Roman Church imposed strict regulations on publishers and booksellers and began keeping an Index of Prohibited Books in 1558.
