    after protestant reformation
  • 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

    led by catholic desire to do good and dissolve hatred - reason he marries Romeo and Juliet is to end feud between families
