[Unam Sanctam]

Of course the Reformation era Protestants like Luther et al., once ascendant throughout Northern Europe, were hardly proponents of religious toleration when it came to followers of the old religion, but viciously and cruelly outlawed Catholicism. Even when religious toleration became a thing with Locke and later the French Revolution, they didn’t want to give religious toleration to Catholics. The American revolutionaries were somewhat unique among the Enlightenment people in eschewing this anti-Catholic hypocrisy.

They had much to unlearn from Catholicism and the world (still do).
