Here another state, a Lutheran-Orthodox nation, soon or later to fall in Rome's hands:Jóhannes Gunnarsson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJóhannes Gunnarsson, SMM (August 3, 1897—June 17, 1972) was an Icelandic prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Apostolic Vicar of Iceland from 1942 until his resignation in 1967.Biography
Jóhannes Gunnarsson was born in Reykjavík. His grandfather was a leader in the Althing, and his father converted to Roman Catholicism while attending school in Denmark; he was Iceland's only native Catholic for twenty years.
Jóhannes Gunnarsson did his early studies under the Icelandic Jesuits, then in Denmark, and later studied theology in Holland. He was ordained as a priest of the Missionaries of the Company of Mary on June 14, 1924, and, upon his return to Reykjavík, commenced his priestly ministry at the Cathedral.
On February 23, 1943, Gunnarsson was appointed Apostolic Vicar of Iceland and Titular Bishop of Hólar by Pope Pius XI. He received his episcopal consecration on the following July 7St. Patrick's Church in Washington, D.C. Gunnarsson was enthroned as Apostolic Vicar after returning to Iceland, where he was the first native bishop in nearly four centuries; the last was Jón Arason, who was beheaded with his two sons by King Christian III in 1550. At the time of his consecration, there were only three parishes and four hundred Catholics in his country, which is predominantly of the Lutheran persuasion.
Bishop Gunnarsson attended the Second Vatican Council from 1962 to 1965, and resigned his post in 1967, after twenty-five years of service. He later died at the age of 74.
The main Lutheran and Orthodox churches are constitutional national churches of Finland with special roles such as in state ceremonies and schools.[citation needed]From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finland#ReligionLutheranism in Finland:

Its strength derived not from the people or the clergy but from the fact that it was instituted by royal decree. One aspect of Luther's doctrine especially interested King Gustavos Vaasa: it entitled him to break me secular power of the Church and transfer its income and property to the state.[citation needed]
Sweden accepted the Confession of Augsburg at Uppsala in 1593. Lutheranism became the state religion. It guaranteed the unity of the realm and tolerated no deviation. The Reformation severed all ties with Rome. The supremacy of the Pope was replaced by that of the King of Sweden, who stripped the Church of its income and property. Mikael Agricola, the first Lutheran Bishop of Finland, translated the New Testament into Finnish. Divine services gradually became more Lutheran and were conducted in the vernacular. The monasteries were closed, and priests allowed marrying.
In the period of Lutheran orthodoxy in the 17th and early 18th centuries the Church again had a similar cultural monopoly to that of the middle Ages. It preached loyalty to the state, instilled a strong sense of Christian morality in the people and taught the Finns to read.
Russia ended Swedish rule over Finland by conquering Finland in the beginning of the 19th century. Finland became a Grand Duchy in the Russian Empire in 1809. Although the ruler was now the Orthodox Tsar rather than a Lutheran king, the Lutheran Church remained the state church of Finland. The Ecclesiastical Act of 1869 loosened the bonds between church and state and increased the independence of the Church. The supreme decision-making body of the Church, the Synod, was founded.

I am not a prostitute lay journalist of this dirty Vatican 'tollerant' regime called 'democracy'. I have not the 51% of the Bank of America supporting my writings. I don't control the Casinò of Ostenda and neither Citroen and Peugeot as the General Superior did at least in 1958. So corrections and additions could appear in the future)
