Martin Luther and the Roman Catholic Church
Further Explanation:
After the protestant reformation the Independent states were divided between the Catholic and the protestant rulership which gave rise to the conflict. The Peace of Augsburg was signed in 1555 by Charles V. The Roman emperor ended the war between German Lutherans and the Catholics. It ended the religious struggle between these groups. It made the legal division of Christianity as permanent in the Roman Empire that allowed the rules to choose between Lutheranism or Catholicism to be their official confession of the state. It ended much of the Christian unity in Europe. The main religion was Roman catholicism and there were few practitioners of Lutheranism. Calvinism was not permitted until Peace of Westphalia. The main principles of Peace of Augsburg were internal religious unity in the state. The second principle was the ecclesiastical reservation. The third principle was Ferdinand's Declaration which allowed Catholics and Lutherans to live together. Do it exempted knights. The document has critical problems like it did not accept any reformed tradition like Calvinism and Ana baptism.
