Gresham College Lectures
England's Catholic Reformation
•
Gresham College
England's Catholic Reformation is the reformation that sixteenth-century England nearly had: a reformed and renewed English Catholic Church, its new schools and revived parishes matched with a firm smack of discipline.
It almost happened; its leading prophets - Cardinals Thomas Wolsey and Reginald Pole - both came close to being elected pope.
Instead, as these possibilities evaporated, they left behind them a toxic residue which has poisoned England's relations with its neighbours down to the present.
A lecture by Alec Ryrie 23 September
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:
