Prior to the Protestant Reformation, the Catholic Church had a very integral part in the governance structure within most of the "independent" states of Christendom. When Martin Luther began to argue for separation from the Church, the various German states which chose to either side with Protestants or Catholics to assert autonomy or unity with the Church. The political autonomy that these princes could have was very appealing. As a result, supporting Protestantism was an effective way of increasing the power of the local princes without appearing impious or self-aggrandizing.
