Protestantism is one of the major groupings within Christianity. It has been defined as "any of several church denominations denying the universal authority of the Pope and affirming the Reformation principles of justification by faith alone, the priesthood of all believers, and the primacy of the Bible as the only source of revealed truth" and, more broadly, to mean Christianity outside "of a Catholic or Eastern church". It is a movement that began in Germany in the early 16th century as a reaction against medieval Roman Catholic doctrines and practices, especially in regards to salvation, justification, and ecclesiology. The doctrines of the over 33,000 Protestant denominations vary, but most include the Ten Commandments, justification by grace through faith alone, known as Sola Gratia and Sola Fide respectively, the priesthood of all believers, and the Bible as the supreme authority in matters of faith and morals, known as Sola Scriptura, Latin for "by scripture alone".
In the 16th century, the followers of Martin Luther established the evangelical (Lutheran) churches of Germany and Scandinavia. Reformed churches in Hungary, Scotland, Switzerland and France were established by John Calvin and other reformers such as Huldrych Zwingli. In addition, John Knox established a Calvinist communion in the Church of Scotland and also the Reformed Church in Hungary. The Church of England became independent of papal authority and influenced by some Reformation principles. There were also reformation movements throughout continental Europe known as the Radical Reformation which gave rise to the Anabaptist, Moravian, and other pietistic movements.

Maximilian Karl Emil "Max" Weber (German pronunciation: [ˈmaks ˈveːbɐ]; 21 April 1864 – 14 June 1920) was a German sociologist, philosopher, and political economist who profoundly influenced social theory, social research, and the discipline of sociology itself.
Weber was a key proponent of methodological antipositivism, presenting sociology as a non-empiricist field which must study social action through interpretive means based upon understanding the meanings and purposes that individuals attach to their own actions. Weber is often cited, with Émile Durkheim and Karl Marx, as one of the three principal architects of modern social science.
Weber's main intellectual concern was understanding the processes of rationalisation, secularization, and "disenchantment" that he associated with the rise of capitalism and modernity. Weber argued that the most important difference among societies is not how people produce things but how people think about the world. In Weber’s view, modern society was the product of a new way of thinking. Weber is perhaps best known for his thesis combining economic sociology and the sociology of religion, elaborated in his book The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. Weber proposed that ascetic Protestantism was one of the major "elective affinities" associated with the rise of capitalism, bureaucracy and the rational-legal nation-state in the Western world. Against Marx's "historical materialism," Weber emphasised the importance of cultural influences embedded in religion as a means for understanding the genesis of capitalism. The Protestant Ethic formed the earliest part in Weber's broader investigations into world religion: he would go on to examine the religions of China, the religions of India and ancient Judaism, with particular regard to the apparent non-development of capitalism in the corresponding societies, as well as to their differing forms of social stratification.

Boer Bas: My sons need a mother.::Antonia: I don't need your sons.::Boer Bas: You don't need a husband?::Antonia: What for?
Verteller: The proverb is wrong. Time does not heal all wounds. It merely softens the pain and blurs the memories.
Antonia: So life begins, without knowing where it came from or why it exists. But why? Because life wants to live.

Margot: La Mole would die for us!::Henri: For *us*?::Margot: Yes, for us.::Henri: He'd die for another night with you.
Anjou: Welcome to the family Henri; it's a bit peculiar but not that bad.
Coconnas: You come for the wedding?::La Môle: No. That Margot is an evil whore. The wedding shames us all.
La Môle: You smelt of jasmine that morning. I thought: maybe she's ugly under her mask. Or disfigured. But it didn't matter. You wouldn't let me kiss you. [they kiss] I thought, she's even lonelier than me. She loves as though she is seeking revenge.
La Môle: Promise me something. They say death always took your lovers. They say you lock their hearts in gold boxes around your bed.::Margot: They do? What else? That at night, wearing a mask, I roam the city, looking for love?::La Môle: One day you'll know who you really are. Promise you won't forget me... the one you shouldn't have loved.::Margot: I promise.

Domine exaudi orationem meam. Domine exaudi orationem
meam.
I always wanted to be a Catholic…but, I was cursed in
being a Protestant.
Oh the life…to recite the right words I should pray.
Oh the life…to not have to decide what to wear
everyday.
But, I am just a snake handler, emotion-as-a-drug
dealer, a tv pitch wheeler screamer.
I make it all up as I go. Then, sell it as a video. See
Betty at the tape table, tape table.
I’m in love with an Irish boy whose penetrating eyes
pierce my chest and steal my breath.

Domine exaudi orationem meam.
Where I’m from everyone is catholic…but, somehow I was
born being protestant.
All my life, it was meetings in basements and abandoned
schools.
All my life, it was windowless, sound-baffled, beige,
barren rooms.
But, I would see them in the evenings going to their
special teachings and hear next-day- storytellings.
This is where the first line’s drawn and you can feel
which side you’re on. Still,
robes and smoke leave me in awe, so in awe.
I love an Italian boy with a beatific touch. Place your
hands where it’s relevant.

In moonlight,

Lecturn
in stained
glass sunlight,
place grace upon my tongue.
Place your martyr mouth where my mouth shouts.
