From what religious affiliation had England broken during the Elizabethan era?

Answer 1

The religious divisions during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I were between the die-hard Catholics, the radical Protestants, and the people who wanted a more strict and radical Church of England. Elizabeth herself had been raised as a Protestant.

Answer 2

In the Elizabethan Era, England again became Protestant in doctrine. It revived the Anglican Church. The Anglican Church used Roman Catholic organization, a unique ritual, and a mixture of Calvinistic, Lutheran and Catholic Doctrine.

So. More than anything else, Elizabeth wanted to end sectarian strife that had plagued England. In the Anglican Communion, any one part can be emphasized. A great variety of religious experiences existed within one church. All was under the control of Elizabeth. She did not care what they did as long as it did not get out of hand.

Answer 3

All of the major world religions were well-established in the sixteenth century, although the Sikh religion was less than a century old.

In England during Elizabeth I's reign, there was only one legal religion: the Church of England. It was and is a Protestant church with an Episcopal structure, and closer to the Roman Catholic outlook than other contemporary Protestant churches. Nobody could openly practise any other religion, and if they were caught, they were punished. Catholics in particular were considered a threat (in fact, the attempt of Spain to invade England in 1588 had as a justification the Pope's excommunication of Elizabeth, and Mary Queen of Scots was executed because Catholics kept plotting to put her on the English throne in Elizabeth's place.) and so were punished quite harshly. Jews found to be practising Judaism were expelled. There were no Muslims living in England at that time, although an embassy from Morocco did visit the country.

Answer 4

Yes, in fact there was a lot of conflict over religion. Elizabeth's father, Henry the 8th began the Church of England and broke away from the Catholic Church, mainly because the Catholic religion did not allow divorce. Although Elizabeth professed not to "look into the hearts of men," meaning she was religiously neutral, she really was protestant, and many Catholics were killed for their beliefs.

--------

Of course!!! Christianity started about 1500 years before Queen Elizabeth's reign. Queen Elizabeth was known to be a Protestant, but her sister Mary, who ruled before her, was a staunch Catholic.

Religion was alive and well in most other areas of the world too. Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam were very popular in the eastern countries, just as they are today.
