Survival of Catholicism (Henry)

Question 1

The start of Henry’s rule

Answer 1

Catholic church at every aspect of life and community.
Strongly C had been for centuries.

Local churches and monasteries- provided education, health care and helped the poor (crops, food,).

7 sacraments gave forgiveness and taught society how to live and mass (some went everyday). People sinned at the time so important.

Question 2

After the reformation

Answer 2

It was not at the heart of the community (at least in law and on the outside).

Protestantism became the main religion of England by law.

1536-40 Monasteries no longer a thing so all the help disappeared.

Many people at heart were still Catholic.
