First of all, after the Reformation, as we all know, the Roman Catholic Church and the Protestants had been separated from each other. The Roman Catholic Church had put The Bible in the Index Prohibitorum. The common misconception should be corrected right now that this happened. Although the Catholic Church has forbidden to read the Bible, it is only the Protestant versions that were forbidden to be read because the Protestants had removed seven books from the Bible. Then, the Protestants had preached the Gospel in order to gain members. The preaching of the Word of God is not the crime that they committed; they are accused of heresy because of their preaching of false doctrines and interpretations about the Bible to contradict the Church's teachings.

Why did the cathedrals of the Middle Ages feature stained glass windows with figures and narratives?

People didn't read so it was a way to teach the bible stories and parables of the bible to people.

Each was another means to teach and have the people remember.
