How much did Henry VIII and his son edward vi change the church of England?

Answer 1

By 1603, the church had changed dramatically. By the time Henry VII and Henry VIII had died the church was extremely Catholic. Most churches included an Alta, chalice and the priests wore elaborate robes. However, in 1547 the churches were altered and were no longer extremely catholic but moderate. Edward had changed churches practises. By 1558 Mary, I had completely transformed churches from being moderate to being extremely protestant. However once Elizabeth started to rein the church was once again Catholic, but by 1603 when Elizabeth had died the church was transformed back to extremely protestant. During the rein of Henry VII (1465) the churches were extremely Catholic, the decoration included elaborate patterns on the ceilings on and the walls. The main patterns were stars. Inside the churches, the altar was the most important place. Near or on the altar would be the chalice and the mass books. Because mass books were so important and delicate, they usually have a cover over the top of it to protect it. But, however perfect they thought the churches were, they didn't appeal to some people, these people were mainly all Protestant. The complaint the Protestants had was that the Church was becoming TOO rich and wealthy, this was because the church was asking for to much money in their opinion. However it wasn't just the money that they got but the way they spent it. For example most money was spent on nice new clothes and palaces. Also you could pay of sins to the pope or bishops; this belief was detested strongly by them. They felt that if you were poor, you would not have the advantage that the wealthier people have. Another complaint was that because the church services were in Latin, the protestants felt as if it was harder to connect with God if it was in this way.One last complaint was that the monks were too lazy and didn't do their work probably. And that the priests don't visit or take care of their parishes. In 1509- 1547 Henry the eighth changed the churches to be moderate. He was trying to turn them into being protestant due to his strong beliefs. He did this to fit his own rights. For example he changed the pope ( who the Christians worshiped) from being the head of church so that he was the head. This woas only so that he could divorce one of his wives. In 1547 -1553 Edward VI changed the church from being moderate to being protestant. By 1603, the church had changed dramatically.
