| Catholic Threat debate Historians summary | Regarding the catholic threat, the debate stems from the 1560s over the survival of Catholicism (McGrath and Bossy) which is counter-argued by Haigh and Doran. |
| Dickens on Catholicism | Dickens, 1964: Catholicism remained insignificant for a decade, and then assumed menacing proportions between 1569 – 1588, but it was then contained by the end of the reign. He believed that English Catholicism was revived in the last 3 decades by the Seminary Priests and the Jesuits. This, in turn, caused a growth in recusancy. |
| Johnson on Catholicism | Johnson, 1974: Catholicism collapsed in 1559. It’s survival only came in the form of a private religion, became a religion mostly of the gentry. |
| Guy on Catholicism | Guy, 1988: He believes that the Catholic community only survived after 1570 due to the Henrican and Marian Priests, not the Jesuits and Seminary Priests. He also sees there as being an established Catholic Church before the priests arrived |
| Doran on Catholicism | Doran, 1994: She believes it is the Marian priests that help Catholicism to survive in the first decades. Does not blame the seminary priests for being such a small minority by the 1590s – despite the weaknesses of their mission, it is hard to see how Catholicism would have survived without them. |
| Conformist Puritan threat summary | Conformist Puritans: prepared to work within the church in the hope of gradual reform and therefore cannot really be seen as an active threat - little actual threat – Grindal was instructive - never in opposition to the Queen |
| Presbytarians threat summary | Presbyterians: supportive of a national church, but it would not be Episcopalian (bishop-led). Considering the absence of Bishops, it would not be a church that a monarch would find easy to control – therefore poses a threat to Elizabeth - E did use formidable powers to supress this perceived threat. - This resulted in there being little chance of success for the Presbyterians. |
| Separatists threat summary | Separatists: they deny that a national church should be established – pose the greatest threat - In practice, very little threat. Too few in number and did not have any elite support. - Queen could, and did employ savage penalties against them |
| Collinson on Presbytarians | Collinson: "Presbyterians' were only a minority and their organisation was broken by 1590. Non Presbyterian Protestants were much more numerous and should be seen as part of mainstream Elizabethan Protestantism" - Is only a very small minority of radical puritans who actually create problems |
| Bindhoff on Presbytarians | Bindhoff, 1950: The Puritan challenge of the ‘80’s took two forms. The Classical Movement was an attempt to Presbyterianise the church from within. The Presbyterians accepted the link between Church and the state. They just wanted the church to pull the state rather than the other way round. The Separatist movement determined to cut the connection altogether. Therefore the Presbyterians strove to undermine the episcopacy, the Separatists acted as if it did not exist. |
| Guy on Puritans | Guy, 1988: Few Puritans were actually revolutionaries (as Collinson points out), and the majority disapproved of separation. Puritanism existed at a local parish level, with enthusiastic preachers. |
| Convocation producing the 39 Articles | 1563 Convocation producing 39 Articles – Puritans attempted to reduce the Holy days, the sign of the cross at baptism and remove necessity for vestments. Moves defeated by 1 vote, suggesting the threat was serious. |

| Vestiarian Controversy | 1565 |
| Vestiarian Controversy Details | Vestiarian Controversy Elizabeth wrote to Archbishop Parker, requesting that he enforced uniformity, specifically the wearing of the vestments As a result, Parker, acting on his own initiative, issued: The Advertisements – Parker accepted wearing of surplice alone at a Parish level but insisted that full vestments were worn in Cathedrals and colleges. The clergy had to swear an oath to the surplice and cope. To many, this implied that the clergy were special. Parker invoked the concept of ‘adiaphora’ but nevertheless, 37 refused to swear and many sacked. Elizabeth refused to endorse Parker’s Advertisements officially. Did she want to limit the involvement of the Privy Council in matters religious? The controversy sparked a wider debate on the validity of the episcopacy – surfacing again in Cartwright’s Cambridge lectures of 1571. |

| Summary Comment Warren assessment fo Puritan Threat | “If the Church of England is to be defined simply as the national Church of the country of England, then only Separatism sought to disband such a system. If ‘Church of England’ means that system established by Elizabeth in 1559, then Presbyterianism certainly sought to replace the hierarchical and traditional system of church government.” |
