- Luther
- believed the pope was merely a bishop of Rome and had no authority over Germany.
- claimed pope was not spiritual head of the church
- in germany there was a widespread feeling of antipapalism
- Anticlericalism- low impact due to kings strong position
- Humanist
- not in favour of english bible.
- Cardinal Wolsey
- papal legate- William Warham claimed opposition to Wolsey meant opposition to pope
- not convincing, wolsey actually brought greater sense of unity among bishops
- oppostition was limited- he did not take over king's role to nominate men for high church office.
- Reformer
- called meeting of how to improve clergy
- organised visitations of churches and religious houses
- accused of pluralism, greed for money.
- Humanist
- not in favour of english bible.
- Lutheranism- defiant stance against him
- Held conference at Oxford and Cambridge- spoke against heresy
- Burnt Luthers books at bonfire
- King+Wolsey in full agreement with pope against heresy- antipapalism hardly existed
- papal legate- William Warham claimed opposition to Wolsey meant opposition to pope
- Humanist
