| | Act of Supremacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Act of Supremacy caused any act of allegiance to the Pope (or any other non-Episcopalian religion, for that matter) to be considered treason. | | | Henry, who had been declared "Defender of the Faith" (Fidei Defensor) for his pamphlet accusing Martin Luther of heresy, was now confirmed as head of the Church in England. | | | This made official the English Reformation that had been brewing since 1527, along with a rather long-lasting distrust between England and the Catholic Church. |

| | The Act of Supremacy |
| | One important point to note is that the Act effectively made it treasonable to support the authority of the Pope over the Church of England. | | | His lifestyle, and his desire for military glory had left Henry in a precarious financial position; he needed money, the church had lots of it, so the solution was obvious - take control of the church and its assets. | | | At the same time, however, Henry had his eye on the wealth of the church, particularly the property of the monasteries. |

It was John Milner, then only a country priest, to whose energy and address the dissipation of this danger was chiefly due. | | | On the other hand his theory of the Divine right of kings induced him to favour the Oath of Allegiance, and he was irritated with the Catholics who refused it or argued against it. |
