Talk:Warsaw Confederation (1573)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is it really clear from the text that religious freedom included all religions or just the three major branches of Christianity (Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant)? What about Jews and Muslims? Tsf 17:13, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
- religious freedom applied to other religions as well. At that time Poland was a place of refugee for various protestant sects (anabaptists, mennonites etc), jews, karaims, muslims. Especially, history of muslim Tatars in Poland-Lithuania is very interesting. There is an article about tham: Lipka Tatars —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.41.26.249 (talk • contribs) 23:19, 28 January 2007 (UTC).

- Thanks. Even though the document is somewhat ambiguous it looks like, in practice, religious tolerance was prevailing in those times within the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, especially when compared with the rest of Europe. 11:18, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
