In London 1600 what religion was practiced?

It was Protestant. Elizabeth I, who ruled from 1558-1603, the last Tudor Monarch of England was considered illegimate by the Roman Catholic Church, who wanted her cousin, Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots on the Throne of England. She summoned Parliament to consider a Reformation Bill to create a new church in England in 1559. Parliament entered a new Bill, the Act of Supremacy making Elizabeth the head of the "Protestant" Church of England. Thus in 1600, England was a Protestant monarchy, part of the Protestant Reformation.

What is the relationship between elizabeth 1 and the reformation?

Anglican Catholic Answer?Elizabeth was a Catholic, not a Roman one but an Anglican! She wanted to take her religion back to the state it was in in the latter years of her father and before the Calvinist excesses of her brother Edward.This couldn't be done because of the strength of the protestant party and the support it got from the nobility and gentry who were feared of losing the Monastic and church lands they'd gained! But the queen did what she could to protect her Church, refusing to allow the protestants too much lee way in their attacks on the Anglican Catholics. She told them that religion was not for the likes of them, but was for the Church and Bishops to decide.She abolished the monstrosity of the 2nd, prayer book and made token gestures in the 1559 book. It is thought that she preferred the First Prayer Book, which was the Sarum Mass, translated in to the vernacular! She was helped on her way by the murderous attempts on her life fostered by the papacy! IN parliament [1559] and in Convocation [1572] she allowed the Anglican catholics to affirm the Church's beliefs in the Seven Ecumenical Councils and Holy Tradition, thus placing the Church on the front line of the Catholic Belief of the First Thousand years!

Was queen anne protestant or Catholic?

Elizabeth a ProtestantYes, Elizabath was a Protestant. In one of the first meetings of Parliament, Elizabeth sought to restore Protestantism with the 1559 Acts of Supremacy and Uniformity. Her goal was to refrain from the extreme Protestantism as seen during Edward's reign or the rigid Catholicism of Mary's. Elizabeth sought a middle ground, expanding the Church's ideologies to include the majority of her subjects. With the creation of the New Prayer Book, diverse spiritual needs were met. No, Elizabeth I was not a Protestant. Anglican's are not protestant but class themselves as English Catholics part of the universal church, this does not mean they view themselves as in communion with Rome nothing could be further from the truth, but they share more beliefs with the Catholic and Orthodox churches than they do with Protestantism. The Church of England was established to permit the divorce of Henry VIII and Catherine de Aragon and not to establish a protestant church. Elizabeth was more tolerant of different religions than either of her siblings. At that time the protestant churches were Lutheranism and Calvinism who sought originally to reform the corrupted Roman Church (do not think of the catholic church as what you see today, the pope was not a spiritual man, he was effectively a warlord and had been selling offices to the church, selling indulgences, in fact i could continue for hours) the church of England however had no intention of reforming the church and had the Pope granted the innulment of Henry VIII Anglican's would probably still be catholics today.


What is the Act of Supremacy?

(1534) English act of Parliament that recognized Henry VIII as the "Supreme Head of the Church of England." The act also required an oath of loyalty from English subjects that recognized his marriage to Anne Boleyn. It was repealed in 1555 under Mary I, but in 1559 Parliament adopted a new Act of Supremacy during the reign of Elizabeth I. Source: Answers.com

What its the cause of Parliament establish the Anglican Church in 1559?

A s far as I understand things Parliament didn't establish the Anglican Church, but it did pass Laws to regulate behaviour in certain matter s. A. The Prayer Book! many people, such as myself, consider the first prayer book the best one, it is merely,[more or less,] a translation of the Sarum Rite![ Procter & Frere]. Unfortunately those people of a radical mindset preferred a less Catholic one and this appeared in 1552. Luckily it didn't last and after Queen Mary's death and Eliza's accession the Queen was prevented by the Protestant pressure from returning to the Prayer Book by a mixture of gentry and Radicals , who each for their own reason didn't want to bring the original back! The Queen then authorised such amendments as were necessary to make the 1552 book acceptable to Catholics!This by law! B. On Elizabeth's accession, the Services were in Latin from the Sarum Missal which was the legal book, there was no Archbishop of Canterbury, Cardinal Pole died a few hours after his cousin the Queen. All the air heads immediately began to change things for themselves , times were volatile and things looked frightening. Queen Elizabeth, under guidance proclaimed that all should continue as it had been under her sister. There should be no alteration of the Latin Services until Parliament met, while she was to be crowned according to the Old Rite and she attended the Latin Mass! C. When parliament met in January 1559 the first thing it looked at was the Act of Supremacy. Immediately things began with a renewal of ten acts of Henry VIII and one from Edward VI. The renewed Acts included Appeals to Rome,[Forbidden.] Submission of Clergy. Dispensations , but it is to be noted that it did not revive the Supreme Head, legislation, the last person to use this was Queen Mary. What this means is that the Church of England returned the position of the Church to the time of Henry VIII's last years at least as far as the pope and crown were concerned. It then went on to abolish the Supreme headship! D. When the Act of Supremacy was passed, Parliament went on to make the New Prayer Book of 1549 the only legal one.This act also contained provisions for the punishment of Separatists and other Dissidents, i.e, Romanists. As you see the actions taken were not to establish the Church in england, there was no need of that, it was already established by custom and practice, what it did was to prevent the wild men, Protestant and Romanists from sliding in to civil war!
