According to The Catholic Encyclopedia, during the Reformation the forcible imposition of a religion on a people was expressed by the motto: Cuius regio, illius et religio (In essence, this means: “Whoever rules the land also decides its religion. ”)
„ Catholic Encyclopedia ” ütleb, et usupuhastuse ajal oli inimestele religiooni pealesundimise motoks Cuius regio, illius et religio, mis tähendab: „Kelle maa, selle usk. ”
