As Watchman has indicated above, the conflict cannot be resolved into a simple protestant v catholic viewpoint. Sweden entered the war under the aegis of being the champion of the protestant faith, yet were aligned with Catholic France. The various other German rulers were of a mix of P & C and often made (and switched) alliances with little regard to religion. And the protestants probly should be further divided into Lutherans & Calvinists. The animosity between those 2 over such an obscure theological technicality never ceases to amaze this protestant.
