Changes

• The King’s Supremacy was an important doctrinal change. It meant that England had broken away from Papal control and was not part of the Catholic Church.
• The Ten Articles 1536: Passed through Convocation by the bishops, these Articles made limited moves towards Lutheran ideas.
• The King and Cromwell were interested in a possible alliance with the Lutheran Princes in Germany. These Articles were not officially approved by the King or passed through Parliament.
• Christ’s body was substantially present during the ceremony of the mass. This doctrine could be Catholic or Lutheran.
• Three of the Catholic Church’s Seven Sacraments were discussed and approved; the other four were not mentioned.
• Justification was through faith joined with charity. This did not go as far as the Lutheran idea of Justification by Faith alone and could be interpreted as the Catholic doctrine of justification via faith and good works.
