The setting favors mamono heavily. There is nothing the Order or the Chief Goddess can do to stop them... If you read the new information in the World Guide III, basically nothing they do can work, the spells they used to wield against monsters are either useless now, or they even turn against you and actually help the monsters...

As for the Protestant Reform, Luther had three great advantages helping him:

1.-Most of his proposed reforms had been already been discussed and accepted by Catholic reformists, mainly by Erasmus or Rotterdam, and were popular among European courts. The Emperor of the Holy Empire and King of Spain Charles, his son Felipe, the spanish Great Inquisitor Alonso Manrique... etc., all were followers of Erasmus. The problem was, all those Catholic reformists couldn't accept Luther's belief that human actions didn't contribute to Salvation, or to his negative to accept the authority of General Councils. After Luther, the Catholic Church became more conservative and rejected may reforms that had been widely accepted before him (mostly because nobody wanted to defend these reforms due to fear of looking too much like a Protestant).

2.-Emperor Charles and the Pope were fighting against each other, so they didn't work together to squash Protestantism, but rather tried to use Protestants against each other, only realizing the danger when it was too late.

3.-Luther wanted to basically disassemble the political, economic, educative, administrative...etc., structure of the Catholic Church, giving the feudal Princes all the Church's buidings, money, lands...etc., and giving them full authority to manage temples, colleges, schools...etc., within their territories, which attracted most of the German princes to his side.
