Roman Catholic AnswerInitially it was Thomas Cromwall (the prime minster under Henry VIII) and Thomas Cramner (the Archbishop of Canterbuy) who tried to "cleanse" their new protestant church from Catholic influences. But it got very bad under James 1 and Charles I, under whom, the Puritans arose and wanted to rid the Established Chuch of every vestige of Catholic influence.
