The Edict Against Protestants In The Army
The edict upheld Protestants in freedom of worry and allowed them to worship publicly in several parts of the kingdom(sadly not in Paris). It also gave them full civil rights. This includes education access and established a specialized court(French:Chambre de l’Édit) composed of both Catholics and Protestants. It was built to deal with arguments coming from the edict. Protestants in the military could keep the places they had as of the August of 1597 as strongholds(or places de sûreté)for eight years, the king met the payments of garrisoning them.

    The reign of Louis XIV is often associated with the image of an absolute monarch and a centralized regime. However, his desire of absolutism and indulgence of war “disturbed and harried mankind during more than fifty years of arrogant pomp” which ultimately aggravate the burden of French and lead to the overthrow of absolute monarch of France. Louis held his simple views regarding religion that catholic church is an essential tool for maintaining the control of people and that it should serve the country as well as his bidding. In 1685 Louis revoked the Edict of Nantes; during the persecutions hundreds of thousands of Protestants left France, migrating to Holland, Germany, and America (Palmer 185). He had a profound belief in the uniformity of religion necessary to the strength and dignity of his ruling.…

Maryland was founded by Lord Baltimore, who established the key principle of religious toleration through his instructions. “ His Lord requires his said Governor & Commissioners that in their voyage to Mary Land they be very careful to preserve unity & peace amongst all the passengers on Ship-board, and that they suffer no scandal nor offence to be given to any of the Protestants, whereby any just complaint may hereafter be made, by them, in Virginea or in England, and that for that end, they cause all Acts of Roman Catholic Religion to be done as privately as may be, and that they instruct all the Roman Catholics to be silent upon all occasions of discourse concerning matters of Religion; and that the said Governor & Commissioners treat the Protestants with as much mildness and favor as Justice will permit.

Because of their religious policy both Philip II’s and Louis XIV’s economy was irrevocably influenced. Philip II lack of religious tolerance combined with constant suspicion of the Marranos and the Moriscos both had immense effects on his economy. The constant support of the inquisitions tactics and suspicion caused the Moriscos to revolt. The Moriscos were defeated and expelled from the country.

    For example, the enormity of the Reformation expressed a surge in Protestant population and support. This can further be seen in the Edict of Nantes, where toleration was imposed. The fact that a Catholic king proposed this compromise shows the increased positive attitudes towards Protestants. In addition, after the writing of the 95 Theses, the Council of Trent finally changed many of the controversial policies the Church had, including the abolishment of the sale of indulgences. The 95 Theses echoed the concern many people had regarding the corruption of the church. Clearly, the church was influenced and intimidated by the support Martin Luther received from the people and the increasing cry for reform. The most important turning point for the Protestant support occurred at the Peace of Westphalia. On the grounds that Protestants were able to do something at a magnitude large enough to force the two groups to come together and negotiate a compromise shows the amount of support and power Protestants…

    The Protestant Reformation was a religious movement that sought to reform the Catholic Church. This led to the creation of the new Protestant Church. The Protestant Reformation first broke out in Germany and Switzerland because Germany was not a strong centralized state and many people agreed with the Reformation. The criticism of the Church that helped begin the Reformation included absenteeism of members of the clergy, pluralism that led to absenteeism, the poor behavior of some of the members of the clergy, and the poor education of some of the members of the clergy. Key figures such as Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, and John Calvin influenced the Protestant Reformation, and although it was unsuccessful, the Catholic Church responded with the Council of Trent.…
