2.)While many commoners in England initially opposed Henry VIII, they supported him when he dissolved the Catholic Monasteries. Like commoners throughout Northern Europe, many were angry with the Catholic Church for what reason?

AThey objected to clergymen who lived lavishly.

Eliminate

BThey were Calvinists who believed in predestination.
CThey were Separatists who wanted to leave the Church.
DThey were Puritans who believed that the Church was too fancy and elegant.

In regard to question #2, I've seen some people answer this question with item D, saying commoners supported Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries because they were Puritans. That is incorrect, however, because the Puritan movement did not begin until later, under the reign of Elizabeth.

Regarding question #1, the Council of Trent, held over a span of years from 1545 to 1563, served to reform some abuses that were acknowledged by the Catholic Church. Mostly, though, the Council aimed to assert the full authority of Roman power and doctrine over the Protestant threat.
