Fraternity and Hope Strengthen Relations Between Catholics and Anglicans
According to Archbishop Flavio Pace and Bishop Anthony Ball, the relationship between Catholics and Anglicans is strengthening.
In a historical context, the body of Queen Elizabeth I was moved and re-interred in the same grave as her half-sister, Queen Mary I, in London's Westminster Abbey four years after her death in 1603.
The two queens were united by blood but divided by religious affiliation due to the Acts of Parliament between 1529 and 1536, which transferred spiritual and canonical authority over the 'ecclesia anglicana' from the papacy to the crown.
The 1534 Act of Supremacy declared King Henry VIII Supreme Head of the Church, a supremacy that was briefly repealed during the reign of the Catholic Mary but re-established during the reign of the Protestant Elizabeth.
