The main problems that the Catholic Church had in the Tudor period were King Henry VIII, King Edward VI, and Queen Elizabeth I, all of whom suppressed the Church ruthlessly, and killed Catholics with abandon. Henry VIII was the worst, suppressing monasteries, turning helpless women out onto the streets, and confiscating all the property of the Catholic Church, looting and burning priceless treasures, etc.

In the area where Charles V ruled as King, the various kings had ended the massive corruption in the Catholic Church a few years before he became king.

After the Lutheran Church was founded, the word priest was dropped and today in the Lutheran church, they ordain deacons, pastors or elders and in some Lutheran sects, bishops. The Anglican Church after the Reformation, was and is considered a "bridge" between the Roman Catholics and the Calvinists and Lutherans. They ordain deacons, priests and bishops like in the Catholic and Orthodox faiths. The primary difference at the time the Church of England was founded in the 16th century, was the Mass would be spoken in English not Latin.
