how did move from catholicism to protestantism undermine religion
showed it to be open to change and subject to public opinion - main reason for Henry viii's approval of change was so that he could divorce his wife
how does religion link to friar lawrence
led by catholic desire to do good and dissolve hatred - reason he marries Romeo and Juliet is to end feud between families
how is catholicism presented in the play
friar's aspiration of peace is not good enough to overcome power of fate - catholicism shown to be fallible (able to make mistakes or be wrong) and play feels like critique of catholicism
