Some of the articles were written in response to Roman Catholic teachings. Article 11 teaches [[Sola fide|justification by faith]] and rejects the Roman teaching that [[Justification (theology)|justification]] is by [[Faith in Christianity|faith]] and [[good works]]. Article 12 rejects the [[Scholasticism|scholastic]] concept of congruous [[Merit (Christianity)|merit]] (that good works could make people worthy of [[Grace in Christianity|grace]]), and article 13 rejects the teaching of [[Works of Supererogation|works of supererogation]]. Article 23 rejects Roman Catholic teachings on [[purgatory]], [[Indulgence|indulgences]], [[Religious images in Christian theology|images]], and [[Intercession of saints|invocation of saints]]. Article 26 rejects the teaching that [[Sacrament|sacraments]] confer grace automatically (''[[Ex opere operato|''ex opere operato]]'']]), and article 29 rejects the doctrine of [[transubstantiation]]. Article 30 rejects the teaching that the [[Mass in the Catholic Church|Mass]] was [[Christ's sacrifice on the Cross|Christ's sacrifice]].{{Sfn|Davie|2013|pp=31–32}}
 
The articles also opposed arguments advanced by some [[Anabaptists]].{{Sfn|Ayris|1993|p=147}}

The Forty-two Articles were part of a larger project of moving the Church of England in a more Protestant direction. This effort included the [[The Books of Homilies|''First Book of Homilies'']] published in 1547 and the [[1549 Book of Common Prayer|1549 ''Book of Common Prayer'']] (followed by its [[Book of Common Prayer (1552)|1552 revision]]).{{Sfn|Davie|2013|p=22}} However, shortly after their proclamation in 1553, the Catholic [[Mary I of England|Queen Mary]] ascended to the throne and promulgation of the articles ceased.{{Sfn|MacCulloch|1996|p=621}}
