The Reformation's intent was mass distribution. This was now possible because of the printing press.

Exactly.

Of course, once "mass distribution" had been achieved, Luther started to regret what he'd created. He wanted everyone to read the Bible allright, but he also expected they'd agree with him afterwards. :-0

There definitely were other groups and leaders that gave Luther pause.
