What did the name ''cathedral'' come from?
This comes from the Latin 'cathedea' which means a 'chair' or 'throne'. Cathedrals are any church (usually large and lavish - but any church is theoretically acceptable) which houses the bishop's 'cathedra' or throne from where he oversees an area of land (county sized) called a diocese. Many cathedrals have been cathedrals for hundreds of years. In the UK, because of population growth, some dioceses split in two, and a new cathedral was needed for the new diocese created. In many of these cases large parish churches were used and the bishop's throne installed. They then became cathedrals with immediate effect.

Why did King Henry the VIII break away from the Catholic Church and start the Church of England?
The Catholic Church did not allow him to divorce his wife so he decided to create his own church the Anglican Church of England. He also needed money from a war with France and by being head of the church he could use the Catholic's money and land to pay for his wars and banquets. He wanted to marry Anne Boleyn (which he did BEFORE he divorced Catherine, in secret) and therefore needed to get rid of Catherine, who he still had a fondness for and so instead of executing her for made-up crimes, he wanted to divorce her on the basis that their marriage was illegal as she had previously married Arthur (Henry's older brother who died 6 months after their wedding) and even though she had denied consummating the marriage, it probably had been consummated The Pope wouldn't allow this because he had allowed a dispensation so that the marriage was legal "in the eyes of God" and, he was scared of Charles V (Holy Roman Emperor) who was the most powerful man in Europe and was Catherine of Aragon's nephew. Charles V had recently ransacked Rome with his troops, they smashed buildings, raped nuns, and even killed some priests. Also Henry needed a male heir because he knew only had 1 daughter and he knew that a weak succession meant a weak reign. Henry needed a son because when his daughter Mary got married her dowry would be England! Anne had promised Henry a son (a silly thing to do) because she could not guarantee to give him a son.
Unfortunately she did not give him a son and was beheaded in 1536.
What were the characteristics of gothic archtectre?
Following Romanesque architecture, Gothic architecture began as the result of new structural innovations and an increasing desire to build taller, more heavenly buildings. Gothic Cathedrals are often characterized by their soaring heights, use of pointed arches, rib vaulted interiors, rose windows, elaborate tracery and stained glass windows (often in lancet, if not rose, shapes). French Gothic Cathedrals tend to have choir ambulatories with radiating chapels and are often characterized by a strong attempt to erode the surface of the wall. Gothic architecture began in the area around Paris, but quickly spread throughout Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries. Strong preexisting traditions of with early Christian basilicas in Italy, Ottonian Romanesque cathedrals in Germany, and Anglo-Norman Romanesque cathedrals in England strongly affected the way the Gothic style was adopted outside of Paris. (These are just some examples of the local traditions that led to the local adaptations of Gothic architectural styles). The crazy decorative vaults and strong horizontal emphasis of English Gothic cathedrals are markedly distinct from their French counterparts.
What denomination was Rochester cathedral built in?
I think the Rochester Cathedral was "built in" the denomination of the Catholic Church. I think so because there were no other denominations around in 604 A.D., when it was built.

How were the principles of humanism and the Protestant Reformation similar?
The Catholic reformation was a long period of history in which the Church dealt with many things - clergy education, the education and piety of the common people, reform of the clergy and religious, etc. The protestant "reformation" is a misnomer as the Catholic historians have always referred to is as the protestant revolt. Protestant takes it name from the fact that these people protested against the Church - and left it to form their own "churches" thus revolt. The Catholic Church reformed itself in removing abuses like ordaining men to the priesthood without adequate education (Martin Luther was a prime example of this), putting an end to bishops living outside of their dioceses, etc. It gave birth to an unbelievable number of great saints and new religious Orders. The protestant revolt succeeded only in removing huge numbers of people from the Church that Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, founded for their salvation, in cases like England, this involved whole countries being denied the sacraments by law.

from A Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, Second edition, revised 1957The Counter-Reformation is the name given to the Catholic movement of reform and activity which lasted for about one hundred years from the beginning of the Council of Trent (q.v., 1545), and was the belated answer to the threatening confusion and increasing attacks of the previous years. It was the work principally of the Popes St. Pius V and Gregory XIII and the Council itself in the sphere of authority, of SS. Philip Neri and Charles Borromeo in the reform of the clergy and of life, of St. Ignatius and the Jesuits in apostolic activity of St. Francis Xavier in foreign missions, and of St. Teresa in the purely contemplative life which lies behind them all. But these were not the only names nor was it a movement of a few only; the whole Church emerged from the 15th century purified and revivified. On the other hand, it was a reformation rather than a restoration; the unity of western Christendom was destroyed; the Church militant (those still on earth) led by the Company of Jesus adopted offence as the best means of defence and, though she gained as much as she lost in some sense, the Church did not recover the exercise of her former spiritual supremacy in actuality

Catholic Reform A period of Catholic revival from 1522 to about 1648, better know as the Catholic Reform. It was an effort to stem the tide of Protestantism by genuine reform within the Catholic Church. There were political movements pressured by civil rules, and ecclesiastical movements carried out by churchmen in an attempt to restore genuine Catholic life by establishing new religious orders such as the Society of Jesus and restoring old orders to their original observances, such as the Carmelites under St. Teresa of Avila (1515-98). The main factors responsible for the Counter Reformation, however, were the papacy and the council of Trent (1545-63). Among church leaders St. Charles Borromeo (1538-84), Archbishop of Milan, enforced the reforms decreed by the council, and St. Francis de Sales of Geneva (1567-1622) spent his best energies in restoring genuine Catholic doctrine and piety. Among civil rulers sponsoring the needed reform were Philip II of Spain (1527-98) and Mary Tudor (1516-58), his wife, in England. Unfortunately this aspect of the reformation led to embitterment between England and Scotland, England and Spain, Poland and Sweden, and to almost two centuries of religious wars. As a result of the Counter Reformation, the Catholic Church became stronger in her institutional structure, more dedicated to the work of evangelization, and more influential in world affairs.

Reformation. A religious, social, and political upheaval (1517-1648) that divided Western Christendom and created world Protestantism. Its causes were manifold; weakening of papal authority through long residence in France and the worldliness of some popes; disloyalty to Rome of many bishops who were really temporal rulers; excessive reservation of ecclesiastical appointments to the Roman Curia; intellectual and moral unfitness of many priests; wealth of some of the monasteries and dissension in their ranks; superstition and ignorance among the laity; social unrest brought on by the disintegration of the feudal system; support given by political power to dissenters in the Church; unrest and secularism brought on by the new geographical discoveries; and the use of the printing press to propagate the new views. The effects of the Reformation have been far-reaching: Christian unity was shattered, personal liberty in religion affected every sphere of human activity, with the rise of the modern secular state, of capitalism as rugged individualism, and with the loss of the cultural solidarity, founded on a common faith, that had shaped Western civilization for almost a millennium.
