For the Vatican's objection to Dutch religious equality enshrined in the 1813 constitution as a factor in this, see George Edmundson, History of Holland, (Cambridge University Press, 1922), Chapter 32.  For another example of the Vatican actively encouraging a Catholic region to secede from a federation with more secular region, see "Why Slovakia?"
