MANYLAYMKOP10

ByTHEHON.MARTINWADE,UnitedStatesDistrictJudge.

Throughoutmostofmylifetime,I believedthatupontheso-calledReformationinEnglandtherewasasubstantialchange,notonlyinchurch government,butalsoinreligiousdoe. trines.

Iknew,ofcourse,thatHenrythe Eighthwas.aCatholicofsuchpiety andrenownthatPopeLeocentarred uponhimthetitle"Defender_ofthe Faith"--a-titlestallinusetothisday byEnglishrulers-forHenry'sbook againstLuther,"AasertioSeptem Sacramentorum."And,ofcourse,I knewthatuptoHenry'srebellion, EnglandwasaCatholicnation.But onlyinlateyearshaveIbeeninvestigatingmorefullytheeffectof Henry'srepudiationofthePopeand hisassumptionofthetitle"Headof theChurch"tohimself.

SiuprisingDiscovery.

Mostpeople,Ithink,considering thereligiousbeliefsoftheChurchof Englandinmoderndays,simply acceptingoodfaiththegeneralnotionthatwhenHenry"revolted"he putasideallthe"foolish"and"superstitious"beliefsandpracticesofshe CatholicChurchandinstalledthemore "intellectual"ChurchofEngland creedandprinciples.

Imaginemysurprise,afewyears ago,inreadingtheStatutesatLarge ofEngland(DanbyPickering'sedition,VolumeFour),tofindindisputableevidenceofthefearsaroused byHenry'sconduct,afterhisrevolt, amongtheCatholicpeopleofEngland, thatpossiblytheirsacredreligionwas indanger.Itisquiteapparentthat thealarmbecamealmostapanic,for in1539Parliamentwasassembledby Henry,whoalsoconvened"asynod andconvocationofallArchbishops, Bishopsandotherlearnedmenofthe clergyofhisrealm,"anddecideddefinitelyalldisturbingquestions.(It willberememberedthatHenrywas excommunicatedin1533,sixyearsbefore.)
