Henry V111 and Anne Boleyn, a convinced Protestant but also a smart politician who wanted religion to unite everyone instead of dividing her subjects. The church of England’s position was made clear in Protestants terms in the act of uniformity of 1559 which imposed the use of Protestants forms of prayer contained in the book of prayer and the thirty nine articles of 1563 which indicated the doctrine of the church; also keeping some traditions like the orders of the bishops.

    In 1559 Queen Elizabeth 1 of England passed two acts as part of the Church Settlement: The Act of Supremacy and The Act of Uniformity. With these acts she aimed to unite her countries people and avoid rebellion from each religious group. At first it seemed to have worked: The new Archbishop of Canterbury, Matthew Parker (a moderate protestant) was popular with most people; Only 250 out of 9000 priests refused to take the oath of loyalty to the new Church; the fines for recusancy were not strictly enforced and there were no serious protests or rebellions. By 1568 most people had accepted the new Church.…

    The short yet significant reign of Edward bought with it a series of severe changes to England and all those within it, many of them taking a religious nature. As the once unquestionable authority of the church became challenged by both critics and affiliates alike, England witnessed an almost inevitable reformation. However, the impact on the majority was not necessarily beneficial- as Duffy wrote, the Reformation bought with it an ‘assault on traditional religion’, leaving many men that ‘breathed easier for the accession of a Catholic queen’.…

    When Elizabeth first came to the throne in 1558 she was faced with the difficult task of establishing a new common religion in a country fraught with religious tensions. The first parliament called under Elizabeth convened on 25th January 1559, and its chief business was forming the new religious settlement. The general hatred of the burning of heretics under Mary, the rapid return of exiled Protestants to England, and Elizabeth’s known Protestant sympathies were all factors that led to a distinctly Protestant House of Commons. The…

    Religion has served as an influential guide for society throughout its entire existence. Western culture, especially, has been sculpted by the Christian religion, and Christianity has remained a widely practiced religion. In the Ecclesiastical History of the English People, one of Bede’s main intentions is to illustrate the process of the spread of Christianity throughout England since its introduction in 156 (Bede 49). Though Bede doesn’t entirely agree with all of the Celtic people’s views and interpretations about Christianity, he does characterize the Celtic people as a rather accepting people who were an integral part to the spread of Christianity in England.…

    During and throughout the reign of Henry Tudor there were numerous changes that took place in regards of religion itself and as a result of this, religious divisions (which still resonate today) inevitably took hold in England. Initially and arguably so Henry was staunchly Catholic from the get go and on the outside certainly portrayed this in the beginning of his reign, however he also repeatedly made decisions which more than hinted at a lean towards Protestantism. At a time when radical religious ideas were spreading, England was displaying an eager aura for change but the changes that followed were not in fact the result of Henrys shifting beliefs. More so, they were a result of his seemingly growing obsession…

    When Martin Luther posted the 95 theses in 1517, he had changed the entire path of European politics and religion. He sparked a thought in the region that in many cases, converted people’s basic Christian beliefs. At the time, the Roman Catholic Church was the most powerful Institution. However, there were many corruptions and problematic doctrines, which Luther opposed. Though most commoners became followers because of faith, political leaders sometimes became protestant for other reasons. One important figure that was influenced by this protestant reformation was King Henry VIII of England. A monarch, he had a great desire to have a son that would be his heir, the next king. Unfortunately, his first wife was only able to birth one daughter. By then Henry VIII had formed a relationship with another woman. This one promised him a son. However, the Catholic Church forbade divorce and Henry VIII was Catholic at the time. To resolve this issue, England separated from the church and began the Anglican Church, a church headed by Henry VIII himself. The Act of Supremacy in 1534 officially began England’s Protestant Reformation. With this new power of the state over the church, the head of the King’s Council, Thomas Cromwell, carried out new government policies which included new taxes, increased power of the monarchy in Northern England, dissolution of Roman Catholic monasteries, and confiscation of the lands that belong to the Church. Enraged, commoners and nobles alike began marching and protesting in what was known collectively as the Pilgrimage of Grace. These individuals that numbered in the tens of thousands, marched for political and religious reasons, while the opposition also claimed political and religious reasons for the protests to stop.…

    Henry VIII’s successor, Edward VI (and his Regency Council), created a Protestant nation especially through his work in the creation of the Book of Common Prayer and other religious reforms. However, Mary I, a devout Catholic, became queen after his death and worked to restore Catholicism. Protestantism became a crime punishable by death. Queen Elizabeth took a more moderate approach to the subject. She created a religious settlement, ensuring that neither Protestants nor Catholics would be discriminated against by law. This religious settlement consisted of the Acts of Uniformity and Supremacy, the Prayer Book, and the Thirty-nine Articles. The Act of Uniformity of 1559 stated that Protestantism was the official faith of England, and it included the Book of Common Prayer. The Thirty-nine Articles followed in 1563, defining the ideology of the Church. As Elizabeth’s reign continued, it became clear that her goal was to create a church that was not reliant on the beliefs and personal gain of the monarch. Although the religious settlement was generally Protestant, many Catholic traditions and aspects were preserved – the most prominent can still be seen…

    At one point in time, the Protestant Catholic Church pretty much had all the power in England. The pope had so much power that it is unreal. The man to change this would be King Henry the eighth. The reasons he changed them are honestly hysterical. Who would want to change the history and the power of not only religion, but also the power over everything in England?…
