- Pre-reformation church - how far was it in need of reform?
- Priests = poorly paid
- People were largely satisfied
- Benefit of the clergy allowed members to be immune from trial
- political attack rather than religious
- Abuses had been happening for a long time
- Most priests = trained properly
- Clerical abuses / ecclesiastical abuses
- Limited abuses
- Monks/nuns (caring for those in need) = moral standards decreased, some got very rich by land rents
- No evidence of abuses - Henry wanted to use anti - clericalism to crush the church and make himself head
