Source Analysis of Religious Perspectives

Source A: The Reformation in England

"The church must be reformed to align with the teachings of the Bible. The Pope's authority is false, and only through Scripture can true salvation be achieved. The reforms initiated by Edward VI aim to restore true Christianity, based on the Word of God. Mary I, however, seeks to restore the old Catholic ways, which are based on tradition and papal authority. These conflicting beliefs have led to great turmoil across England." Provenance: Thomas Cranmer, 1553, religious reformer and Archbishop of Canterbury
