Crypto-Protestantism

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Crypto-Protestantism is a historical phenomenon that first arose on the territory of the

Protestant after the Reformation. The Protestants in these areas strove to retain their own confession inwardly while they outwardly pretended to accept Catholicism.[1] With the Patent of Toleration
in the Habsburg Empire in 1781, Protestantism was again permitted, and from that time on most Protestants could live their faith openly once more.
