The peace of Augsburg said that principalities in the Holy Roman Empire would follow the religion of the ruler. Spain, once it had thrown the Muslims out was never part of the Holy Roman Empire, but was Catholic from that point on, and the Kings of Spain used the Inquisition to keep the protestant revolutionaries from causing the death and destruction that they had caused elsewhere. Italy was part of the Holy Roman Empire but its rulers were always Catholic.
