Herr Luther freed the North from Latin's yoke.

Poland had a Protestant movement but it was crushed by Catholic kings. Bohemia and Hungary were majority Protestant until Habsburg counter-reformation.

Because it allowed Princes to disregard Papal and Emperor authority and become fully sovereign by jumpstarting your own cozy national church. And no moneys going to Rome as well.

For Poland and Ireland remaining catholic was a matter of affirming national identity verse germans and english.

I think it was the rise of a middle class caused by businesses like the Haseantic league which required educated people who could read.

Its just a short jump for someone who can read, to desire the articles of faith in their language.

The German states were decentralized. Protestentism, by its nature, works better when there aren't central authorities to enforce a particular dogma.

And the whole point of Henry VIII making himself the head of church instead of the pope was to get the crown power to do as it wants. Of course the Irish didn't want any of that.

It's because the old testament is literal jewish garbage. Protestantism was basically a form of heathenry (the Wilfula bible depited Jesus as a norse germanic warrior with blonde hair and blue eyes too) so naturally it was appealing to northern europeans. Luther was anti-jewish and of germanic extraction too. This is also the reason positive christianity (which was basically a norse-derived faith in the making reconstructed from the ground up) in the Third Reich was based on lutheranism rather than any other form of judeo-christianity

It's actually the furthest away. Most catholic churches are run like synagogues and make up rules for their goats to follow. Then they have goat rituals and rites to atone the goats for the sins they remember. Then they strut around holier than thou while they worship idols, justifying their idols on the creation of the ark of the covenant.
