Fraternity and Hope Strengthen Relations Between Catholics and Anglicans

According to Archbishop Flavio Pace and Bishop Anthony Ball, a significant event in history highlights the complex relationship between Catholics and Anglicans.

Four! years after her death in 1603, the body of Queen Elizabeth I was moved and re-interred in the same grave as her half-sister, Queen Mary I (Tudor), in London’s Westminster Abbey.

The two queens were united by blood but divided by religious affiliation, due to a series of Acts of Parliament between 1529 and 1536 that transferred spiritual authority from the papacy to the crown.

The 1534 Act of Supremacy declared King Henry VIII Supreme Head of the Church, a supremacy that was briefly repealed during the reign of the Catholic Mary but re-established during the reign of the Protestant Elizabeth.

The 1534 Act of Supremacy declared their father, King Henry VIII, Supreme Head of the Church.
