THE CHURCH IN ITS EARLY STAGES * 1509- Henry became king. Church and state relations were very good (cordial). Church taught duty and obedience to king as a God-chosen man and king protected the church.
* 1520- England was very much at peace with itself and relations between State and Church seemed pleasant and secure. There were however, other countries in Europe who decided to break away from the Catholic Church << these people rejected the Pope as the Head of the Church.
* 1529- Relations were still good between Henry and Rome. Church & state worked well together.
* 1533-40- dissolutions of monasteries, New Articles of Religion and Royal Injunctions (about religious practice).
* 1538- Intro of English Bible.
However, these changes were not so wide ranging as they seemed to be because, they “merely confirmed the King’s existing power of the Church”. This relieved the sparking of riots, rebellions and protest from people as the Royal Supremacy had always been there, (it’s nothing new) people would protest against new changes as people dislike new changes.
Reformation under Edward VI, Mary and Elizabeth * 1547-1553 -Edward VI rule = Edward Seymour (Duke of Somerset) + John Dudley (Duke of Northumberland) = Two Prayer Books and 42 Articles of Religion. This did not provide fertile ground for Protestantism to grow as he was only in power for 6 years. * 1553-1558 – Protestantism destroyed and restoration of Catholicism + abolished Royal Supremacy and brought back Papal Headship of the Church BUT she did not bring back the monasteries (to reduce opposition). * 1558-1603 – Protestantism restored forever + New Religious Settlement (New Prayer Book + 39 Articles). She was moderate (included Catholics and Protestants in the new faith… although officially Protestant).
