You are speaking of the Peace of Westphalia, and the Peace of Augsburg. These two treaties stipulated that everyone in a particular principality had to be the same religion as the ruler. The Peace of Augsburg was a treaty between Charles V and the Schmalkaldic League (a group of Lutheran princes) on 25 September 1555 in Augsburg, Germany. It was the official end of the wars between protestants and Catholics and established the "Cuius regio, eius religio, which allowed each prince in the Holy Roman Empire to choose his religion which would be for the entire state that they controlled. A period of time was allowed for non-conformists to emigrate to where their preferred religion was practiced. The Peace of Westphalia extended this further to the Calvinist religion. The Peace of Westphalia ended the Thirty Years war in 1648, and the Eighty Years War between Spain the Dutch Republic.

The church frowns on divorce whether Catholic or not, and recognizes the protestant marriage as valid unless it is annulled.

If the protestant has NOT remarried, then he/she CAN enter the roman catholic faith, but cannot remarry unless previous marrige is annulled. A lot also depends on the person's previous spouse faith and form of marriage if spouse was Catholic. A sit down with priest would be advised.

What do you think was the most permanent impact of the Reformation?
A:One obvious outcome of the Protestant Reformation was the breakup of the Catholic Church, with the creation of Protestant Churches. Another, more indirect, effect was the reformation of the Catholic Church itself. Both of these outocmes are reversible. For example, it is conceivable that the Catholic and Protestant Churches could, one day in the future, reconcile and recombine. Similarly, the Catholic Church could one day become as corrupt as it was in the Renaissance period - and perhaps it has already gone down that path, given revelations about the financial affairs of the Church and those about widespread child abuse.One effect that is more likely to remain permanent is the loss by the Catholic Church of absolute power over the lives of people. The Reformation allowed democracy to take root, and even gave secular authorities power to investigate criminal activity by clergy, should this occur within the relevant jurisdictions. It also allowed people to make their own decisions on how and whether to worship God.
You are a protestant divorced and would like to marry a Catholic girl in the Catholic Church?
.Catholic AnswerYou need to make an appointment with your local priest, you will need to apply for a decree of nullity. The Court will examine your case and determine if you marriage as a protestant was valid or not. If it was invalid they will issue a decree of nullity, and you would be free to marry.

They depends on whether you meant to capitalize Orthodox or not. The Orthodox Church is not Catholic, they split from the Catholic Church officially in the 12th century.

Anyone who is not orthodox in his belief, is by definition, heterodox, otherwise known as a protestant, even if they still maintain nominal membership in the Catholic Church.

Roman Catholic AnswerYou need to speak with your priest. Normally, if the baptism in a protestant church was valid, then they do not have to be baptised Catholic before receiving the sacraments.
