Mary I the Daughter of Catherine and Henry tried to bring back Catholicism. In the process killed many Protestants; bad way to make friends (reign 1547-1553).

Queen Elizabeth I One of the Great Leaders of her Time

“God Rules ﾕ but has come to mean a government run by religious leaders of a particular religion or religious view.”

Calvin Best Known for the Idea Predestination

• Predestination means that God has determined before the beginning of the universe all things which will ever take place. This is also called the sovereignty of God. Calvinism emphasized that because salvation was predestined it was purely by grace (unearned).

You know, predestination would sure speed things up

on judgment day
