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. ”)
Sipas The Catholic Encyclopedia, gjatë Reformës, detyrimi me forcë i një feje te një popull shprehej me një moto latine (Cuius regio, illius et religio) e cila, në thelb, do të thotë: « Kushdo që sundon vendin, vendos edhe fenë e atij vendi. »
