The Catholic church had a huge influence on the people in Europe. People listened to what the church has told them over the years, and i think this is one of the major reasons why Enlightenment ideas were slow to influence the lives of most Europeans. An example would be when Galileo had said that the Earth was not the center of the universe and when he refused to say it was false he got arrested. Some people could not read so they had to go with what the church has told them.
