Nothing is impossible to God. Others will plainly see that God inspired the printing press because he saw that those who were responsible for teaching the Scriptures were failing him.

Another laughable response. Why would He wait? According to Protestants the Church had been "failing" since the beginning. So, why would God allow His children to suffer for that long?

And to further add to the irony, movable type was developed in China (by a non-Christian) between 1041 and 1048, but it wasn't developed by Gutenberg until 1447. So, please explain why God would first "inspire" a non-Christian a thousand years after the Age of the Apostles and then wait ANOTHER FOUR CENTURIES to "inspire" a Catholic? Couldn't God have simply waited another eighty years and "inspired" a Lutheran and not a Catholic?

So, why would God allow His children to suffer for that long?

I don't know. Why did God allow the Children of Israel to wander in the wilderness for 40 years? Why did God wait so long before Jonah was sent to Nineva? This could go on and on. The answer is that God's timing is not our timing.
