    Why do you think that Mary kept a title which was abhorrent to her, did not square with the reconciliation she achieved, in theory, and was not an obvious choice for a Catholic sovereign? Do you think that the Supremacy of the Church in England could be interpreted as a Catholic title as long as England was fully reconciled with the Universal Church and papal authority or do you think that the Supremacy was so wrapped up in legislation that it would take too long to undo and it enhances the royal power and mystic so she kept it? I think that she saw some benefit of the title and also the legislation was complex. If you get papal authority, then I guess that you can interpret your inherited royal titles anyway you choose.

    Many English Catholic Churches still have the box for Peter’s Pence which of course is voluntary which is paid to care for the Church and the poor of the Church.
