This expulsion is sometimes taken as the beginning of decline of famous Polish religious freedom, although the decline started earlier and ended later: the last non-Catholic deputy was removed from parliament in the beginning of the 18th century.
Fordrivelsen ses ofte som afslutningen på den berømte religiøse frihed i Polen, men nedgangen begyndte tidligere, og den sluttede senere (det sidste ikke-katolske medlem af parlamentet blev fjernet i begyndelsen af det 18. århundrede).
