History

How would we feel?

Because of King Henry, in the early 1600's the Catholics were the outsiders of England. He was married six times and he wanted a divorce because he wanted a son to carry on the royalty but his wife couldn't give him one.

Because of assassinations, persecutions, and hatred we would feel pressured and scared. I would feel like I didn't have any freedom or a place for escape.

History Of The Roman Church

How would we feel?

The pope didn't want to divorce him because it was against the Roman Church. Then Henry decided to go against the church. He made his own church independent from Rome and got people to promise to join his church. If they didn't they were persecuted. That was when England started turning its back on Catholics.

The Catholics during the early 1600's were being pressured into changing their church. Many were persecuted and scared.
