"The power of the Pope over secular rulers of Europe decreased."
Explanation: Protestant reformers rejected papal authority and many monarchs used the Reformation to assert greater control over religion in their realms, strengthening nation-states. The first option is false (use of vernacular often increased literacy and learning), and the second is incorrect — northern (Protestant) regions like England and the Dutch lands grew economically relative to many Catholic southern areas.
