Reformers "left" to acquire Church property. One third of European lands were kept by the Church for use by peasants and monks. Reformers became rich by seizing Church properties and booting off the inhabitants. The Roman church HATES to lose land..the loss of property in Spain let to the "celibate" priesthood.. too many priests willing "church" land to the kiddos...
I would appreciate some documentation on this "theft" from the church by the reformers.. not Catholic hate sites ok?

I would appreciate some documentation on this "theft" from the church by the reformers Look at "The Protestant Reformation in England and Ireland" by William Cobbett. It was published by a Protestant Englishman in 1834 and is available as a free book on the internet. It is the most devastating account of injustice that I have ever read.
