Reformation and contact with the new World

Contact with the Americas post 1492 and the Reformation had huge effects on Europe and of course on America. The Reformation happened within a generation of contact and in fact before major colonisation.

Was there any link between the two?

Discovery of America shattered both the traditional Western view of the world and its economic pattern. The link was present, but rather complex IMO.
