In consequence to the “outraged” blogger on Neon24
On the portal Neon24, on which I, as well as Darek Kosiur, besides post many of our articles and comments – 1 of the fundamentalist ‘lovers of Russia Putin’, and from these positions combating my publications morbidly, this time he reacted allergicly to a text in which his author, @jon, utilized a fragment of Protestant spiritual song utilized by manager Hofman in the movie "The Flood"(https://dz.neon24.net/post/175446, which-sie-expected-wladimir-wladimirovich-putin-8)
This prompted me to include a text on the substance of demolition which Sweden had done between 1655 and 1660, during the invasion of the Republic of Poland, called the "Swedish flood".
Let me start by quoting from Commissioner @ikulibal's favourite and almost the only source:
"From the Protestant Reformation in 1530 to 2000, the Lutheran Church of Sweden was a state church",
za: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religia_w_Sweden
And I will remind you shyly that the alleged "Swedish flood" occurred between 1655 and 1660, erstwhile Sweden was for over 100 years a Protestant, Lutheran state overflowing with the 5 principles of Protestantism:
sola scriptura – only Scripture is an authority in matters of Christian religion and practice;
Solus Christus – only Jesus Christ, as the actual God and the actual man, is the mediator between both;
gratia salt per fide salt --only the grace of God is the basis for justifying the sinner through religion and regardless of his works;
Deo gloria salt Only God is worthy of worship by creation.(*)

“And the mediate of the 16th century brought large changes to Scandinavia. The Calamari Union, which has so far focused Denmark, Norway and Sweden, has broken down. It was the Swedes who broke out of a union in which the Danes took a privileged position at the expense of the another members. The erstwhile ruler of the union and at the same time the king of Denmark, Chrystian II, overturned Gustav Vasa, who shortly became the regent and then king of Sweden (1523). These events coincided with the activities of Marcin Luther (1483–1546), whose views spread rapidly in Scandinavia.
First Successes of Reformation in Sweden
W Sweden's Lutheran ideas were most likely to absorb the urban layer. The vast majority of city dwellers were written and besides oriented in the political realities of the country. The first mention of the Reformation in Sweden dates back to 1522 erstwhile German merchants brought information about Luther's views to Stockholm. “Infected” by the Reformation Germany was besides surrounded by Gustav Vasa himself, including his individual secretary since 1524, Nicholas Stecker, a student from Wittenberg.
The main promoter of the fresh religion in Sweden was Olaus Petri (Olof Petterson), who during his studies in Wittenberg had contact with Marcin Luther himself, as well as with Philip Melanchton. Upon his return to Sweden, he became a teacher at a cathedral school in Strängnäs, where he taught, among others, his brother Laurentius (Larsa). In 1524 Olaus moved to Stockholm, where he became a city author and preacher at Storkyrkan Church (St. Nicholas). shortly he persuaded the archdeacon of the chapter to reformist views, and at the same time the fresh secretary of Gustav Vasa, Laurentius Andreæ (Lars Andersson). Throughout the city Lutheranism gained many followers.
In 1524 Laurentius Andreæ sent a letter to monks from the city of Vadstena, who is considered the first evangelical writing in Swedish history. According to the author, the Church was nothing more than a community of believers. Consequently, all church property belonged to the faithful, who should usage it for their own use. This active the full society as well as the king. Thus Andreæ criticized the medieval Church. Additionally, he instructed monks to read Martin Luther's writings.
Olaus Petri's first major step was to print the fresh Testament into Swedish in 1526. He besides translated spiritual songs and smaller improvement writings. At the same time, anti-reform writings were published in Sweden, behind which Archbishop Uppsala Johannes Magnus (the Archbishop Uppsala was besides the head of the Church in Sweden). Although he was a longtime associate of the king, he openly proclaimed the superiority of church power over the secular one, causing conflict.
Reformations on the acquisition of church goods convinced the nobility to fresh currents. She was encouraged by the chance to enrich her own possessions and to gain a position previously reserved exclusively for the clergy. The clergy – especially the wealthy ones – were engaged in writing books, economical activity, law or even medicine. They had a full of about 21% of the land in the state, and besides enjoyed privileges guaranteed by the alleged libertas ecclesiae, or independency of the Church from secular law. All of this caused jealousy of ambitious but impoverished nobles as early as the second half of the 15th century. The power, even though it kept its distance to Gustav Vasa, a king chosen of the people, decided to support the actions of the monarch, hoping for individual benefits. However, it is hard to see their spiritual motives.”

Finally, a real gem, or article, “Swedish flood: a balance of crime, demolition and plunder”
Fragment:
"The Swedish Flood of 1655–1660 was 1 of the bloodiest wars in our past and 1 of the most devastating conflicts of modern Europe. The invaders wiped out full cities and did not hesitate to pluck silver nails from coffins or scrape gold from wooden strips.
After entering the Crown in the summertime of 1655 The Swedes occupied about 1/4 of the territory of the Republic. Their troops were overrun by Royal Prussia and the full state of Wielkopolska Crown, including Kujawy, Poznań Voivodeship, Kaliskie, Sieradzki and Łeczycki, as well as Mazowisz together with Podlasie. In addition, invaders from the north entered Małopolska and took over the Sandomierz, Lublin and Krakow provinces and the western part of the Russian voivodship.
The remainder of the country was in the hands of Moscow and Cossack troops, but the areas occupied by Swedes were the most economically developed, had the highest urbanisation and population ratio. Of the 10 most crucial cities of the Crown, the troops of Karol X Gustav entered six during the flood: Toruń, Elbląg, Poznań, Warsaw, Krakow and Lublin. They failed to enter Gdańsk, Lviv and Zamość".
