How did Henry the VIII convert people to Anglican?

Simple, he outlawed the Catholic Church and all Catholic priests, he confiscated all the Churches and installed protestant ministers in them, then he had Commons pass a law that everyone had to attend the state Church or there would be consequences: mostly fines, confiscation of all property, and death. He made them an "offer that they couldn't refuse." The result was that under Henry VIII, and his daughter, Elizabeth I, England produced more martyrs for the faith than in the previous 1,000 years.


How did religious attitudes affect the rule of Charles II and James II?

What critique of practices of the Catholic church led to the establishment of the first main protestant religion?

.Catholic AnswerThe most famous "critique" of the Catholic Church was the 95 Theses of Martin Luther. These were a very mixed bag, some of them are, remarkably, orthodox theology, while others are pure nonsense having nothing to do with reality. The are remarkable in that they were supposedly produced by a man who supposedly taught theology before entering the Augustinian Order and yet they show a very limited understanding of theology as it was understood at that time, and for centuries before then. .AnswerMany people have put forward critiques of the catholic church. The most famous is by Martin Luther when he nailed 95 theses on the chapel door at the University of Wittenburg in 1517. This is not to say that this was the earliest, there are no doubt items that are lost so are not available for inclusion .


What helped spread the ideas of the Protestant Reformation?

The printing press was a HUGE factor, because it allowed books and pamphlets to be produced quickly and cheaply. Also, one idea of the Reformation was to preach not in Latin but in vernacular (whatever language was most commonly known in a certain area). This meant that Protestant scripture could be printed easily, and the ideas in them were understood by a wider array of people (the Catholic church preached solely in Latin, and only priests knew Latin, so the common people relied on the priests to teach them the bible. The Protestants promoted the idea that a person's relationship to God should be personal, not through a priest, so printing Bibles in languages that everyone knew got rid of the need for a priest).


What was the religion of Henry VIII?

Henry VIII was at one time a very celebrated Catholic, so much so that he was awarded the title "Defender of the Faith" by the pope for a tract he had done with support from St. Thomas More in defense of the Sacraments against the Protestants. However, Henry had a falling out with the Church, largely due to his desire to secure an annulment that he might remarry, for his current wife had not produced an heir. When the pope refused and St. Thomas More would not aid him, Henry began to take steps to gain political control over the Church. In the end, a complete break was enacted and Henry is ultimately credited with establishing the Church of England, or Anglicanism. Rejecting papal authority, the crown became the supreme temporal authority in religious matters. Along with this came the doctrinal and disciplinary changes that were influenced by Protestantism on the main continent. He was not a protestant, but he was anti-papal, which means he was against the supremacy of Rome. He called himself a good Catholic on several accounts, and he burned Protestants as heretics. However, he did not believe that the Pope was all powerful in terms of religion, and so he separated from the Church and made himself Supreme Head of the Church of England

Is puritan same as protestant?

Puritans were a particular type of Protestant. The rebellion against the authority of the Roman Catholic Church produced many new varieties of Christianity, all of which are Protestant since they all came about as a result of a protest against the abuses of the existing church. But they are not all the same thing. Methodists, Lutherans, Baptists, Episcopalians, and Presbyterians are all forms of Protestants.

Elizabeth Middle Way?

The Middle Way Elizabeth tried to bring peace in matters of religion. She tried to find a compromise which moderates on both the Catholic and Protestant sides could accept. The key points were: she called herself the 'Supreme Governor', not the 'Head' of the Church of England; the English Prayer Book was brought back, and Elizabeth insisted on protestant beliefs BUT she allowed many of the trappings of the Catholic services - bishops, ordained priests, church decorations, music and priests' vestments; She produced a prayer book in English, but allowed a Latin edition to be printed; the new prayer book said that Christ was 'really present' in the bread and the wine in the Communion service.
