Pauls.The Puritans found all of this time wasting and irrelevant. They didn't agree with set liturgies and controlled prayer, they believed in a more personal approach to the Saviour. They didn't bother to take care of the church buildings or believe in what Our Bishop and martyr Bl, William Laud,] called ,'The beauty of holiness,'. They rejected the Real Presence and prayers to the Saints and Holy people of God, they had no thought for Tradition and the Holy Councils.Roman Catholic AnswerThe puritans rejected the Anglican Church because it was the established Church of England and they thought that when they had left the Catholic Church they had not left enough of its rituals and beliefs behind. They rejected the Catholic Church, ultimately due to man's sinful nature. They could not accept that the Catholic Church taught with the voice of Jesus, and they felt that their own interpretation of the Bible was enough to ensure their salvation. The sad thing is that in rejecting His Church, they were being disobedient to the very Bible they were claiming had the answers: Jesus said, "He who hears you, hears Me; he who rejects you, rejects Me."

They were Puritans. "Like the Pilgrims, the Puritans were English Protestants who believed that the reforms of the Church of England did not go far enough. In their view, the liturgy was still too Catholic. Bishops lived like princes. Ecclesiastical courts were corrupt. Because the king of England was head of both church and state, the Puritans' opposition to religious authority meant they also defied the civil authority of the state.In 1630, the Puritans set sail for America. Unlike the Pilgrims who had left 10 years earlier, the Puritans did not break with the Church of England, but instead sought to reform it. Seeking comfort and reassurance in The Bible, they imagined themselves re-enacting the story of the Exodus. Like the ancient Israelites, they were liberated by God from oppression and bound to him by a covenant; like the Israelites, they were chosen by God to fulfill a special role in human history: to establish a new, pure Christian commonwealth." from 3.nd.edu
