| Much of what we think of as Anglicanism was produced by Elizabeth I's decisive if arbitrary edict against further religious innovation, which froze the English Reformation more or less where it was when her brother Edward VI died (with the crucial exception that she insisted on priestly language during communion that validated the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, a key Catholic concession). It was first used in the reign of Edward VI (King of England, 1547-1553), hence its name, the Edwardine Ordinal. A mixture of policy and policing, evangelism and iconoclasm, under Henry VIII and Edward VI effectively disrupted a long-established relationship between the living and the dead, although residual attachment to Purgatory lingered for another two or three generations. |
