亨利八世是宗教改革的最重要的责任者

.There were 3 main causes

a desire for change and reform in the Church had been growing for

The reform began as a struggle for a

divorce

and ended in

freedom

from the Papacy. Henry VIII wanted to divorce Catherine of

Aragon because she could not produce a male heir for the Pope refused to annul his marriage.

Henry’s reforms

was to get rid of the English

Church’s connection with the Pop

e, and to make an

independent

Church of England

. He made this break with Rome gradually

between 1529 and 1534

.

He dissolved all of England’s

monasteries

and

nunneries

because they were more loyal to the Pope than to their English kings,and past two laws as

the

Act of succession of 1534

and

the Act of Supremacy of 1535

made his reform possible. He established the church of England as the national church of the

country, and he made himself the supreme head of the church of England.

The English Reformation had 3 important effects:They stressed the power of the

mo

narch and certainly strengthened Henry’s position; Parliament had never done such a long and important piece of work before,

its importance grew as

a result. His attack on the Pope’s power encouraged many critics of abuses of the Catholic Church. England w

eth's religious reform and her foreign policy

伊莉莎白的宗教改革和外交政策

Elizabeth's religious reform was a compromise

of views. She broke Mary's ties with Rome and restored her father's independent Church of England, i.e.

keeping to Catholic doctrines and practices but

to be free of the Papal control

.Her religious settlement was unacceptable to both the extreme Protestants known as Puritans and to ardent Catholics.

丽莎白的宗教改革是各种观点的妥协

.

她中断了玛丽女王与罗马建立的关系

,

恢复了她父亲建立的独立的英格兰教会也就是说她保持天主教的教

条及做法

,

但不受教皇控制

.

她的宗 教和解既不被极端的清教徒所接受

,

也不为虔诚的天主教徒所接 受

.

For nearly 30 years Elizabeth successfully

played off against each other the two great Catholic powers, France and Spain, and prevented England from

getting involved in any

major European

conflict. Through her marriage alliances which were never materialized, Elizabeth managed to maintain a friendly relationship with France. So England
