Elizabeth I offered tolerance to Catholics as long as they showed loyalty to the English Monarch. Her reign was characterized for being lenient with Catholics as Elizabeth I opposed to the religious persecutions and sought harmonic coexistence between Protestants and Catholics.

Martin Luther questioned the rightful extent of the Pope's religious authority. Luther's theology opposed to the authority of the Pope alleging that the only source of divine knowledge from God was the teaching of the Bible.

John Wycliffe translated religious scripture into a language common people could understand. He was an English scholastic philosopher and theologian that in 1382 succeeded in translating the Bible from Vulgate, a version of Latin, to vernacular language. The translation came to be known as Wycliffe's Bible.
