| | Thomas Cranmer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Cranmer withdrew his recantation and denounced Catholic doctrine and the Pope from the pulpit, reportedly stating, "And as for the Pope, I refuse him, as Christ's enemy and Antichrist, with all his false doctrine." After this Cranmer was taken to be burned at the stake: | | | Due to this lack of land Thomas and his younger brother were forced to join the church. | | | At the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries Cranmer was given various former church properties, such as the former Cluniac Nunnery at Arthington. |

| | Memoirs of Thomas Cranmer |
| | From the catechism, it is plain he had now recovered himself from the extravagant notions which he formerly indulged for the regal supremacy; for there he asserts the divine commission of bishops and priests, enlarges on the efficacy of their spiritual censures, and longs for the restoration of the primitive penitentiary discipline. | | | In 1539, Cranmer, and the other bishops who favored the reformation, fell under the displeasure of the king, because they could not be persuaded to give their consent, in parliament, that the revenues of all the monasteries should be bestowed on the king. | | | At his first appearance in the public schools, Cranmer had three articles offered him to subscribe, in which the corporeal presence of Christ in the sacrament was asserted, and the mass declared to be a propitiatory sacrifice for the living and the dead. |

| | Thomas Cranmer |
| | While as a priest Cranmer had already taken a vow of celibacy, his reading of scripture (especially his noting that apostles had married) convinced him that marriage was permitted the clergy and to be esteemed among them. | | | He concluded that scripture, the church fathers, and church councils concurred that Henry was unlawfully married. | | | In the freer political climate Cranmer penned the Book of Homilies, a theological compend summarizing Protestant doctrine; the Book of Common Prayer, still used by Anglicans worldwide; and the Forty-Two Articles, closest to the Reformed theology of the continent. |

| | We must honour Thomas Cranmer and be grateful to him, for in the English Bible, the Book of Common Prayer, the Book of Homilies, he helped translate and reform the faith and worship of the English speaking world, recalling it to a simpler more direct proclamation of Christ and the Gospel. | | | Cranmer is criticized as a receptionist [not the kind you meet in a dentist's office] for teaching here and elsewhere that Christ is received by the faithful Christian in Communion in a way that does not depend on the bread and wine by themselves but on the heart of the believer. | | | Sentenced for that offense and publicly degraded, Cranmer recanted almost his whole position, affirmed transubstantiation (a more physical belief in the presence of Christ in the bread and wine an Communion) and the supreme authority of the Pope in the English Church. |

| | He and his royal master disagreed at a number of points, but Cranmer was deeply convinced of the scripturalness of royal supremacy as a basis for much-needed reform in the Church of England, which itself was legally established by Parliament. | | | His fine theological judgment and sensitive ear for English are revealed in the classic liturgies and prayers he composed for the Book of Common Prayer, which have profoundly shaped English-speaking Christianity for over four centuries. | | | In more popular form, his contributions to the Homilies were influential among ordinary people and his Forty-two Articles (1533) provided the Church of England with an authoritative and balanced standard of evangelical and catholic belief. |
