Here's a wiki article with a long list of them. In the areas on the fringes of the Holy Roman Empire where borders were under constant pressure, it was often expedient to just "cut the baby in half."

Citizens of Copenhagen had elected to follow Luther, but Roman Catholic officials at St Mary's tried to maintain the church as a centre of Catholic resistance to change in Copenhagen. By royal decree both Roman Catholic and Lutheran priests were commanded to use the church jointly, which incensed the majority of Copenhagen's population. On 27 December 1530 hundreds of citizens stormed St. Mary's, destroying every statue and dismantling the choir stalls. The 17 richly gilt altars were stripped of jewels and gold and smashed, as were reliquaries, vestments and altar equipment. Even the name "St. Mary's" became Our Lady's Church (Vor Frue Kirke), keeping the historic reference to the Virgin Mary without the use of the un-Lutheran "Saint" appellation."<br /><br />Interesting. Had no idea "Our Lady" was considered Lutheran and "St. Mary" not at that place in time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
