Henry VIII - religion
motivation for change
corruption in the Church - absenteeism (regularly being away from your parish), nepotism (those in power favouring relatives and friends), pluralism (holding more than one title in the Church eg. - all these issues were exaggerated to justify the break with Rome but were very much present in the Church
-
-
Protestant influences - Cromwell and Cranmer were both protestants and masterminded much of the change in the church - Cranmer was also a humanist
little evidence of a substantial movement towards Protestantism after Martin Luther's attack on the Catholic Church in 1517 - suggests motivation was not actually related to religion
continuity
maintained belief in transubstatiation - fundamental Catholic belief - Anne of Askew executed in 1546 for heresy for denying transubstatiation
7 sacraments remained - another key aspect of the Catholic Church - reinstated by the Act of Six Articles, 1539
-
structure of the Church remained the same as it is in Catholicism - only change is Henry's the Head, not Pope
more conservative documents written eg. Bishop's Book, 1537 and King's Book, 1543
change
Pope no longer the head of the Church - Henry was Supreme Head of the Chuch of England - Act of Supremacy, 1534
only 3 sacraments needed to get to Heaven - baptism, penance, Eucharist - Ten Articles, 1536
1538 - injunctions - every parish Church required to have an English Bible, first addition of the Great Bible appeared in 1539
dissolution of the monastries, 1535-40
