In Book I, Joyce seems to indirectly refer to the conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism in Europe. He begins with the Germans, and they have a dividing line between the two religions that was effectively established through decades of open warfare. The South of Germany is Catholic, whereas, the North is Lutheran.
