This book examines the historical evolution of the English Church, focusing on the extent to which it perceived itself as jurisdictionally connected to the Roman papacy over a millennium of its history, from its inception to the time of the English Reformation. The author argues that, contrary to the position taken by many Anglican writers, the pre-Reformation English Church, from the time of Augustine of Canterbury, saw itself as an integral part of Catholic Christendom, recognizing papal authority in matters of doctrine, governance, and ecclesiastical discipline. This departure from prevalent Anglican historiography is supported by an examination of English laws, documents, and writings from the era. The book presents an immersive historical narrative that underscores the role of the papacy in the formation of the English Church. It sheds light on the nature of ecclesiastical authority, the relationship between church and state, and the dynamics of religious belief in medieval England. Overall, this work provides a fresh perspective on the origins of the English Church, challenging traditional interpretations and offering a deeper understanding of its complex history.
