Religion played a major role in how it affected Elizabeth, politics, and the Parliament.
The queen made sure to acknowledge the Pope as an important religious leader. She became
locked in a power struggle to maintain her power, while still trying to balance out the supremacy
religion had over England. Religion and politics went hand in hand.
