The Reformation and its Catholic Roots in England
A critique of Protestant polemics on the English Reformation, defending its continuity with Catholic tradition. The piece argues the reform was necessary but not a break from Catholic faith, denounces radical changes, defends Cranmer and Ridley on the Real Presence, and asserts the Church of England remained a true branch of Catholicism despite Rome’s influence. It condemns Protestant claptrap and upholds the sacred authority of the Eucharist and apostolic sacramental power.

Real Presence Doctrine at issue in church case
The discussion centers on Mr. Bennett’s writings arguing for a real and actual Presence of Christ in the bread and wine, opposing the view that communion is metaphorical. The promoters claim Bennett taught doctrine at variance with the Church of England, including the sacrifice and adoration akin to Roman beliefs. The Lords reserve judgment, likely after Christmas.
