Luther's publications also inspired King James to have it written in English, hence the King James bible.With copies of the bible written in a language that people could read themselves, and published with the aid of the printing press, the Vatican no longer had the absolute control over the masses with its Latin version which only a few copies were available.

This led to the Church of England.
