Much of Northern Europe, including Scotland, England, northern Germany, Scandinavia, Switzerland, and the Netherlands broke from the Catholic Church and formed different protestant churches, some of which, like England and Scotland were national churches. But Catholicism remained the most powerful Church with France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Southern Germany, and Lithuania remaining Catholic. Jesus Christ has always been the head of the Church with the Pope as his Vicar on earth.
