The Vicissitudes of the Doctrine of the Lord's Supper in the English Church: A Study in Dogmatic History
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 September 2009
Extract
When in the year 1534 Clement VII. decided against Henry VIII., King of England, in the matter of his divorce with Catharine of Aragon, and the spiritual corporations had resolved that the Roman pontiff had no more authority in the kingdom of England than any other foreign bishop, a royal edict abolished the usurped dominion of the Pope. This edict was succeeded in November of the same year by the Act of Supremacy, which reads as follows: “That the Kyng our Soveraign Lorde his heires and successours Kynges of this Realme shal be takyn accepted and reputed the onely supreme heed in erthe of the Churche of England callyd Anglicana Ecclesia.” By this act of Parliament the English Church ceased to be popish, but did not cease to be Romish. The worship was that of Mediæval Catholicism, mainly according to the Sarum Use; the theology was that of Thomas Aquinas, in which Henry himself had been well instructed.
