So you are some kind of a theocrat a la Islam, as I can see.
To you the separation of the Church and the State (Give Caesar what is Caesar's) does not apply, like it doesn't apply to Hebrewists and Islamists. Interesting.

Interracial marriages were blessed by the Church

Miscegenation in Europe is a small step from miscegenation in colonies.

That's a fallacy.

However, in North America interracial marriages were condemned by all Protestant churches until the 1900s and they were a taboo in the society.

Again, source.

I am not aware of any European mainstream Protestant denomination which teaches that Jews are saved because they are the Chosen people and don't need to believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah.
The Catholic Church does teach that the Jews are saved if they believe in Judaism which is heretic.

This is indeed true, and it is surely related to the fact that Christianism does break away with any idea of a "chosen people".
Protestantism, on the other hand, adopts chosenitism as in its origins there is a judaisation through an increased relevance of the OT.
It is therefore not surprising that many Protestant churches subscribe to the idea of being God's Chosen People, and the descendents of such or such other Israelite tribe.
I'm actually amazed that you even get to eat pork. But there is little doubt that many Protestant churches are mentally (or ideologically) circumcised.

Lutheranism has been the backbone of nationalist movements in Europe for decades.

That adds to the list of your by now many fallacies.
It has not been in Spain, it has not been in Ireland, it has not been in France, it has not been in Croatia, it has not been in Serbia, it has not been in Russia, it has not been in Bulgaria, it has not been in Belarusia, it has not been in Poland, it has not been in... pretty much
most of Europe.
And the reason is that in all of those countries which make up
most of Europe it was the Catholic or the Orthodox Churches, as they are no Protestant countries.
This makes clear that your Lutheran arguments are ad fallaciam.

The reactionary, anti-nationalistic role of the Pope in European history is well known.

This is more of your fallacious arguments.
If there have been clashes between Rome and kings or emperors throughout history in Europe, the latter represented
states (kingdoms, empires) and not
nations.
Something that I'm sure that you were aware of it, since I do not have you for an ignorant. Therefore I must conclude that your distortion of equating states to nations to defame Catholicism --a distortion of the truth-- is ill-intentioned.
Where did you learn to distort the truth with such shameless?

He backed imperialist states like Spain, France and Austria-Hungary which oppressed European nations.

What would you know? I'm afraid that the ices had not yet retreated from Finland at that time.
For your information, if by the "imperialist state like Spain" you refer to the dominions in the Low Countries, that was a German issue in which Spain had no interest.
For your information, it was British Protestant Imperialism which opressed and attempted to anihilate the Irish nation:
1649-52: Cromwell\'s conquest of Ireland &
The Plantations through modern times (
An Gorta Mór: The Great Irish Famine ) and to this day.
As it was the Highlands Clearances:
Culloden - The Jacobites
All Protestant backed attempts of genocide against European nations, with a distinctive Protestant flavour.
There are more. And many more if we add non European nations, only paralleled by the actions of the state of Israel in Palestina.
I wonder how many more falllacious statements are you still going to launch in the name of Protestantism, Lutheranism, Evangelism or whatever you wish to call it.
