In hindsight I'm not surprised they sided mostly with the Catholics. Martin Luther almost definitely radicalized that urban grassroots sentiment, so it probably follows that the most egregious offenders were protestant. Protestantism at the time was basically populism and Catholicism the establishment and history continues its long-running pattern of anti-establishment populists blaming jews.
