	Acts of Supremacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Act of Supremacy caused any act of allegiance to the Pope (or any other non-Anglican religion, for that matter) to be considered treason.
		However, Elizabeth, who was a politique, did not prosecute nonconformists, or those who did not follow the established rules of the Church of England, unless their actions directly undermined the authority of the English monarch, as was the case in the vestments controversy.
		As established by the Tudors, the consolidation of church and state under Royal Supremacy instigated political and religious strife in the succeeding centuries.

	Anglicanism
		When the Act of Royal Supremacy, which had been repealed by Queen Mary, was revived by Elizabeth, it suffered a modification in the sense that the Sovereign was styled "Supreme Governor" instead of "Supreme Head".
		In a subsequent "Admonition", Elizabeth issued an interpretation of the Royal Supremacy, to the effect that she laid claim "to no power of ministry of divine offices in the Church".
		The supremacy of the Spirituality in the domain of doctrine, as the sole guarantee of true religious liberty, is still lacking in the Anglican system, and the problem of supplying it remains unsolved, if not insoluble.

	Edmund Bonner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bonner began to doubt that supremacy when he saw to what uses it could be put by a Protestant council, and either he or Gardiner evolved the theory that the royal supremacy was in abeyance during a royal minority.
		He did so, but with such significant omissions in the matter which had been prescribed touching the king's authority, that after a seven days' trial he was deprived of his bishopric by an ecclesiastical court over which Cranmer presided, and sent as a prisoner to the Marshalsea.
		When the Parliament of 1563 met, a new Act was passed by which the first refusal of the oath of royal supremacy was praemunire, the second, high treason.

	Reign of Queen Elizabeth (1558-1603)
		A royal proclamation was issued (27th Dec., 1558) forbidding preaching or the use of other public prayers, rites, or ceremonies save those approved by law until Parliament should have determined otherwise, except in regard to the recitation in English, of the Litany, the Commandments, the Creed, together with the Epistles and Gospels.
		A royal commission was appointed (1559) to administer the oath of supremacy to the clergy, and to enforce the provisions of the Act of Uniformity.
		To their credit be it said, when the oath of supremacy was tendered to the bishops they refused with one exception to abandon the views they had defended with such skill and bravery in the House of Lords, and preferred to suffer imprisonment and deprivation rather than lead their people into error by submission.

	The Church in Ireland During the Reigns of Henry VIII and Edward VI (1509-1553) @ ELCore.Net
		As a royal commissioner three years before he had ample opportunity of knowing the condition of Ireland, the characters of the principal leaders, and the inducements by which they might be tempted to acknowledge the authority of the King of England.
		While the questions of royal supremacy and the jurisdiction of the Pope were being debated in Parliament (1536-7) the bishops and proctors of the clergy incurred the wrath of Browne and the English officials generally by their courageous resistance to the new proposals, showing thereby that they had no sympathy with the anti-Roman measures.
		A royal commission was issued to the Deputy, the Lord Chancellor, and the Bishop of Meath to grant faculties and dispensations in as ample a manner as the Archbishop of Canterbury.

		It could be said that Hooker is arguing that the only way that the royal supremacy would be legitimately able to control and enforce religious policy would be if that supremacy was based and created in laws enacted by the whole community.
		Instead, Hooker could be said to be redefining the concept of the royal supremacy of the church as a legitimate use of kingly power only where it was responsible to the community.
		Overall, despite the evidence on the supremacy of the law and the authority of the community presented above, there is still a strong case that Hooker held up the royal supremacy of the church in England as the ideal polity for that church in that nation at that time.

	Speech of Archbishop Heath against the Royal Supremacy, 1559
		First, when by the virtue of this act of supremacy we must forsake and flee from the see of Rome, it would be considered by your wisdoms what matter lies therein, as what matter of weight or force, what matter of danger or inconvenience, or else whether there be none at all.
		Second, when the intent of this act is to give unto the Queen's Highness a supremacy, it would be considered of your wisdoms what this supremacy is, and whether it do consist in spiritual government or in temporal.
		If you say that this supremacy does consist in spiritual government, then it would be considered what this spiritual government is, and in what points it does chiefly remain.

	THE NEW CLASSICAL SCHOLARSHIP
		Royal Supremacy is the idea that despite what primary sources tell us about history and even about the work itself, there never was freedom of speech in ancient times.
		Understanding the use of royal language by the royal authors in antiquity, one will also have to understand that since total authority over all of the important things in the society which they also had created, meant that they were the source, the inventors of the very language that they used.
		The ancient royals were used to their positions of power and knew how to make full use of it.

		Any actual supremacy was nullified, however, by the phrase ‘as far as the law allows’ and Henry seemed content to threaten the clergy and to take the 100 000 pounds charged for a pardon.
		The legislation of 1534 was the seal upon the royal supremacy.
		The Dissolution Act (1539) formally granted royal title to the assets acquired from these surrenders and by 1540 half the wealth of the English Church was in possession of the crown.

		Is the Royal Supremacy, according to the Constitution, any bar to the adjustment of the appellate jurisdiction in such a manner as that it shall convey the sense of the Church in questions of doctrine?
		The complaint of the present state of things is, that those who may be taken to represent the interests of the Church in such a matter as the character of her teaching are practically excluded from having any real influence in the decision of questions by which the character of that teaching is affected.
		The answer is that she has no right to claim a separate interest in the matter, and that the doctrine of the Royal Supremacy was meant to extinguish, and has extinguished, any pretence to such a claim.

	The James Begg Society
		The supremacy of the Pope was abolished in 1534-35.
		Parliament enacted that the Papal supremacy was abolished, and that the monarch was the supreme head of the Church.
		From that supremacy now arose 'the Court of High Commission.' The Queen was as fond of, as the Puritans were averse to, the pomp and show of the ceremonies.

		The ‘Royal Supremacy” to churchmen nowadays connotes a little more than a picturesque historic loyalty and a good deal of exasperating legal red tape, together with a peculiar method of selecting bishops.
		It was made treason to speak against the Royal Supremacy, even in private conversation; and spies and agents provocateurs were employed in men’s houses to delate them.
		Cranmer added to this his own conscientious royalism, but royalism of that brand was in the air of Tudor England.

	Cuthbert TUNSTALL (Bishop of Durham)
		But the lengths to which the reformers went opened his eyes to the real significance of the royal supremacy; a change came over his attitude, and he staunchly maintained the Catholic side, steadily opposing the abolition of chantries, the Act of Uniformity, and the law permitting priests to marry.
		On Mary's accession he was liberated, and his bishopric, which had been dissolved by Act of Parliament in Mar 1553, was re- established by a further Act in Apr 1554.
		He declined to take the Oath of Supremacy, was summoned to London, and when ordered to consecrate Parker refused to do so.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: English Post-Reformation Oaths
		It comprised (1) A confession of "grievous offence against God in contemning her Majesty's Government"; (2) Royal Supremacy; (3) A clause against dispensations and dissimulations, perhaps the first of its sort in oaths of this class.
		The success of Elizabeth's "settlement of religion", had been really due to her alliance with the party afterwards called Puritans, and they were not in love with the supremacy, or unaware that it was unpopular and tyrannical.
		When the Puritan party had gained the upper hand during the civil wars, the exaction of the Oaths of Supremacy and Allegiance fell into desuetude, and they were repealed by the Act of February, 1650, and their place taken by an "engagement of allegiance" to the Commonwealth.

		That we do not, and in conscience cannot, acknowledge in the Crown the power recently exercised to hear and judge in appeal the internal state or merits of spiritual questions touching doctrine or discipline, the custody of which is committed to the Church alone by the law of Christ.
		To Pusey the modern abuse of the extension of the Royal Supremacy in deciding a grave doctrinal question by such a body of laymen (possibly non-Christians), as the Judicial Com–mittee of the Privy Council, was a great evil, but an evil which might be remedied in course of time.
		The Acts of Parliament which inaugu–rated the change were read with new eyes; and the Royal Supremacy was now seen to be in effect a symbol of the rejection of the authority of Christ in His own Church.

	STATUTES OF PARLIAMENT AND RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION IN SIXTEENTH AND SEVENTEENTH CENTURY ENGLAND by Gene Garman
		In 1528 the Church of England was committed to Roman Catholic supremacy and considered Protestants heretics.
		Like the "Act of Supremacy," which left no doubt as to from whom spiritual authority came, the "Act of Uniformity" clearly stated rules for religion which were established by law and left no room for tolerance or freedom.
		On April 28, 1535, monks John Houghton, Augustine Webster, and Robert Lawrence were brought to trial "for denying the king to be supreme head of the English Church."28 On May 4 they were put to death as traitors and hung in their religious dress as a warning to other clerics.

		In return for this he received a royal grant of his land and possessions, was created Baron of Colthill and Castleton, and was promised a seat in the House of Lords, a favor which he obtained in 1543, when he was appointed a peer with the title of Baron of Upper Ossory.
		In Limerick, although the city authorities were reported to be favorable, the Bishop, John Quinn, refused to give his consent to the proposed change, and throughout the country generally the Deputy was forced to confess that it was hard to plant the new religion in men’s minds.
		Although the First Book of Common Prayer had been legalized in Ireland by royal proclamation, the Ordinal and the Second Book of Common Prayer had never been enforced by similar warrant, and their use was neither obligatory nor lawful.

		In November of 1534, the clergy in England were all required to sign what was called the "Declaration of Royal Supremacy." In this signing this document, they gave their consent to the claim that the King of England also reigns over the Church, with none above him.
		But with that "chop," that "snap," of the Declaration of Royal Supremacy, the hierarchy in England became a severed branch, no longer able to draw any support, strength, or root nourishment from the Tree in Rome, nor to provide any of its value in the opposite direction.
		The Declaration of Royal Supremacy laid no diocesan boundaries, assigned no bishops or priests to their Sees or parishes, and in fact changed absolutely nothing except the affiliation of the clerics who signed it.

	DIVIDED LOYALTIES, MISPLACED HOPES by Aaron D. Wolf (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Cranmer’s replacement of papal supremacy (which placed the two swords of spiritual and temporal rule into the hands of the bishop of Rome) with royal supremacy was self-defeating and contradictory.
		The Augustinian separation of the earthly and heavenly cities, reiterated in Luther’s “two kingdoms” doctrine, was distorted and even perverted in Cranmer’s conception of royal supremacy, which took supreme power from one “vicar of Christ” and placed it into the hands of another.
		While royal supremacy seems a relic today, there are still those who think that the success of the Gospel or, at least, of moral renewal lies in the hands of politicians who pretend to be their friends but never seem to deliver on their promises.

		Subsequent chapters demonstrate Hooker's reliance on the teaching of the Magisterial Reformers in the formulation of both the soteriological foundations of his political thought and his ecclesiology.
		Hooker's appeal to the authority of Patristic Christological and Trinitarian Orthodoxy in support of the Royal Supremacy is also discussed.
		The purpose of this book is to uncover the theological roots of a central aspect of Hooker's political thought, and thereby to attempt to shed new light on an important Elizabethan controversy.

	Anne Boleyn and Religious Reform
		It is clear that Anne was very much involved in presenting Henry VIII with ideas of and support for the Royal Supremacy, and unsurprising that among the many insults he threw at Anne Boleyn and her family, Eustace Chapuys accused them of being outright 'Lutherans'.
		Anne Boleyn was not simply interested in the Royal Supremacy as a means of becoming queen; she was also interested in reform more generally for its own sake.
		Quite apart from anything else, there was no need to couple the Supremacy with interest in other religious change; Henry VIII himself, after all, did not share the reforming interests of his wife and minister.

	Cranmer as Reformer
		Thirdly, ‘absolute obedience’ to a monarch who, as we have seen, is constantly shifting his doctrinal ground would have been an impossible cause to champion; there would be no consistency or conscience in anything Cranmer did were he to make the Royal Supremacy his core belief.
		[24] It is better, with MacCulloch, to regard Cranmer’s view of the Royal Supremacy as God’s provision of a means to an end, rather than an altar on which all else is sacrificed.
