Did Elizabeth I bring peace to the feud between Catholics and Protestants?

Answer 1

She Made The Church Of England Where Protestant And Catholic People Could Go To That Way There Would Be Protestant And Catholic People In The Same Church. she then let the people of England chose if they wanted to be catholic or protestant!

Answer 2

Elizabeth's treatment of Catholics was moderate* in contrast with the burning of Protestants in Mary's reign, but any public worship other than Anglicanism was punishable, and penal laws affecting Catholics became increasingly severe*.

Elizabeth's choice of a middle path was initially effective in foreign policy, since an ambiguous national religion allowed a degree of flexibility. That most Catholics were satisfied with Elizabeth's compromise was shown by their refusal to support the Northern Rebellion of 1569, intended to place Mary Stuart on the throne. The Catholics were still seen as a threat, however, for a variety of reasons.*

Answer 3

The divisions were mainly threefold,

Traditionalists that is Anglicans, who held to the Faith of the first thousand years!

Romanists followers of the papacy and the new Council of Trent and staid aloof from others!

Protestants, mainly Calvinists , but virile and very positive in their aspirations. They saw no difference between the Catholics and sought to capture the Church from within.

For the first 12 years of her reign Eliza was minded to treat all religions with tolerance. No one was prosecuted for their religious bent. There was no doubt that the dominant Church was the ancient English Church, but both sets of dissenters were allowed to ply their own ways and for the Romans these were halcyon days, with talk of their own bishops!

Unfortunately the Bishop of Rome issued a fatwa against Eliza and called on foreign monarchs to prosecute it, this meant a civil war, followed by a foreign invasion with probable death for Elizabeth and quite likely slavery for many of her subjects .

This led Eliza to call upon her Roman subjects to take a positive Oath of Allegiance,and this the pope wouldn't allow them to do, the result was that Roman Priests from the Continent were expelled unless they took the oath.If the returned and were caught they suffered the penalty for Treason as did the people who supported them by sheltering the traitors, as Queen Elizabeth said, no one suffered for religion, only treason!

The protestant dissenters were also active, but if they moved against Eliza, it was thought that the foreign monarchs would invade and instead of Eliza, an Anglican Catholic they would be faced by Spain and the Roman fifth column. This was a great deterrent and while they and their supporters packed parliament

, the Queen wouldn't give them permission to discuss and vote on religious matters, claiming that religion was the province of the Anglican Catholic hierarchy. this provided a stalemate which allowed Eliza to play all groups against the others.

This was the much talked about Elizabethan Compromise! Much talked about amongst the Protestants.

Interestingly this lasted for some 40 or so years and fell apart because the power and authority of the papal court weakened they were no longer feared and it was not the Romanists who rebelled but the protestants and it was the Anglican catholic King who was murdered
