Fraternity and Hope Strengthen Relations Between Catholics and Anglicans

According to Archbishop Flavio Pace and Bishop Anthony Ball, the relationship between Catholics and Anglicans is strengthening.

In London's Westminster Abbey, the body of Queen Elizabeth I was moved and re-interred in the same grave as her half-sister, Queen Mary I (Tudor), four years after her death in 1603. Despite being united by blood, the two queens were divided by their religious affiliations.

A series of Acts of Parliament between 1529 and 1536 transferred spiritual and canonical authority over the 'ecclesia anglicana' from the papacy to the crown. The 1534 Act of Supremacy declared King Henry VIII Supreme Head of the Church.

This Supremacy was briefly repealed during the reign of the Catholic Mary, but was re-established during the reign of the Protestant Elizabeth.
