The church constantly threatened the monarchy with excommunication when they went against the church. In the Middle Ages excommunication was a real threat to people because they believed that they would go to Hell if they didn't follow the church.

Big difference, before Henry VIII there was no Church OF England, only the Catholic Church IN England. In 1534 he had Parliment issue the Act of Supremacy.from the Website :Sovereign and Pope in English Bidding Prayersbefore and after 1534J. Frank HendersonIn 1534 King Henry VIII decreed that he was not only sovereign -- the ruler -- of the country but also supreme head of the church in England. In other words, he now took the place of the pope, who had no further role to play in England. Henry's claim to supremacy was made both legally and politically, but also liturgically.

Do any Bible verses forbid choosing a religion other than Roman Catholic?
The evidence of the Bible is that there was a great deal of diversity in Christianity during the first century. Gradually one group began to dominate and went on to become what is now known to scholars as the Catholic-Orthodox Church. This group subsequently began to splinter, with some groups such as the Coptics and Arians leaving the main Church. The Great Schism of 1054 resulted in the separation of the unified Church into what we now know as the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches. Protestant Churches left the Roman Catholic in the Reformation, and so can claim to share the heritage of the Catholic Church. No one modern Church can really claim to be the original Christian Church to the exclusion of all others. The books that now form the New Testament were the ones selected by the Catholic-Orthodox Church, and they do warn against other Christian groups, with references to "false prophets" and "heretics". But they do not mention the Roman Catholic Church.
Where was the first Roman Catholic Church?
Answer:In the first centuries of the Early Church, there was no "Catholic Church", "Orthodox Church" or "Protestant Churches". The Church certainly developed differently according to where Christians lived as they were affected by their own culture. For example, this meant that the way in which worship was expressed was not the same in Egypt as it was in Gaul (France) or Britain. The first splits took place quite soon (e.g. during the 4th century) due mainly to disagreements over teaching on Christ, but even then it would be inaccurate to say that those in Egypt began referring to themselves as the Coptic Church (the name used today) and those focussed on the Bishop of Rome as the Catholic Church (Note that the term 'Roman' Catholic did not come into use until the after the Reformation as was pejorative in nature)The Catholic Church (to use its proper title) centred on Rome might claim to be the oldest Church (as it believes Peter to have been the first Bishop of Rome i.e. pope), but this claim is also made by the Orthodox and Copts, both of which would say that it was the others which deviated..Catholic AnswerRoman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church. There was only one Church, and it has been known as the Catholic Church since the late First Century, it was established by Our Blessed Lord from the Cross, confirmed by the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and remains the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church from then until now. Please note that there can only be one Church, not a "first" Church. As Our Blessed Lord only established one Church and it is His Mystical Body, and His Bride. He cannot have "two" or more.

How did the Scientific Revolution weaken the Catholic Church?
The "Scientific Revolution" did not weaken the Catholic Church, the Scientific Revolution was brought about by the Catholic Church. Nearly everyone who contributed to it for centuries was Catholic, in many notable cases, they were even clergy or monks. People of a protestant or secular viewpoint often make the claim that the scientific revolution led to a weakening of the Church because the Church relied on things not seen, while science relied on provable facts, but this is a straw argument, and doesn't touch the reality that everyone actually doing the science was a Catholic.
Are the British royalty Catholic or protestant?
Church of England, Anglican. It should be noted that Queen Elizabeth is immensely religious and ecumenical and has audiences- really summits- with several popes over her long reign.AnswerHM the Queen is actually a member of the Church of England and her role is that of Supreme Governor of the Church of England (a role that automatically is bestowed on the monarch).As Supreme Governor, under Christ, of the Church of England, it does mean that, constitutionally, she cannot ever convert to Catholicism, nor can her successors as monarchs do so, nor can they ever marry a Catholic. This is because the Catholic Church will insist that any children from that union (and hence a future monarch) would be brought up Catholic. This would place the monarch in an untenable position being a Catholic and also Supreme Governor of another denomination.However, some of the lower orders of the Royal Family have married Catholics, but, in doing so some have had to relinquish their claim to the throne.
