During the progress of the Reformation " it was formed into an express and fundamental maxim of state, that Catholicism was the best support of absolute power, while Pr...otestantism was favorable to rebellion and the republican spirit. It would not, even in our days, be possible to drive this maxim out of the heads of man}' statesmen." Viilers, pp. 276, 277.
