Note that Luther published his 95 Theses in 1517. The bible in the vernacular showed that each person could learn the scriptures without an intermediary. I'm not sure if anyone was throwing sheep at the time, though.

I wonder if there was a similar book to Throwing Sheep 20 or 50 years after the appearance of the Gutenberg press .. my bet is there was probably some equivalent.
