Mary was a blind fanatic. Everything had to disappear for her Catholic concepts. She wanted whole England to return to the Catholic Church. But when Elizabeth got on the throne Mary reached the opposite. England became a definite Protestant nation. Her half-brother established the Anglican Church before Mary became queen. That made it much more difficult for her to reach her goal of making the entire England return to the Catholic Church. Because Mary was a very fanatic Catholic woman, 'Bloody Mary' was not her only nickname anymore. Her second nickname was 'The Catholic'. When Mary was on the throne she tried with the help of her cousin Karel V to ban Protestantism and to restore Roman Catholicism. People who did not want to turn

Additionally, it is essential that I comprehend how it was revised by Fo and—hopefully—it will be helpful to my work on the scene.…

    “I have no desire to make windows into men’s souls” – the famous words Elizabeth I told her subjects when she came to the throne in 1558. She was referring to the religious reforms and that she had no desire to interpret either Protestantism or Catholicism so closely to cause tensions or rebellions, like so many that had occurred during the reigns of her predecessors. Despite this, some would disagree and say it was the tough social, political or economic climate at the time that led to these inevitable revolts by the common people and subjects. This essay will look at how far religious discontent was the reason for the Tudor rebellions.…

Semi-literate, dirty, diseased, and criminal. In 1858, [Toronto] struggled to interpret the rise of international Catholicism and the power of French-Canadian Catholic politicians (McGowan, 2014, p.17).…
