Los-von-Rom movement
Los-von-Rom-Bewegung (movement for breaking away from Rome) - Protestant movement with political and anti-Catholic motives initiated in Austria at the end of the 19th century.
The movement was launched in Linz, Upper Austria on the initiative of the parliamentarian Georg von Schönerer, the leader and principal representative of Austrian pangermanism, whose fundamental ideas were anti-liberalism, anti-clericalism and anti-Semitism. The group demanded the separation of the Austrian Church from the Holy See and the rejection of any influence and any interference by the latter on the political and economic life of Austria-Hungary. Los-von-Rom-Bewegung was inspired by a German culturphamp, developing since 1871. The movement was supported by Austrian Protestants, who in a country with predominantly Catholics constituted a minority. The situation of Protestants improved in 1781 after Joseph II issued a tolerant patent. The patent was in line with the spirit of Josephine. Bibliography
