Peoples front of Catholicism NOT the Catholic people’s front

I get the quote but it was The Church of England that made this claim. It was necessary at the time because catholicity was important to people at the time who largely believed what the Holy See claimed was fact. If the CoE was the one true church then Henry’s sacking of Roman Catholic churches and monasteries to finance his wars and debts was righteous.

I am fairly aware, I was raised in the church and my dad is an episcopal priest.

The history of the church was the last “fun” thing about church for me.
