Was the subject of this week’s In Our Time and a particularly good example of a very fine programme it was. I was particularly taken by a contribution on why this took such hold in 17th-century England (at least in the mind of kings – but also the populace, given the sales of Charles I’s posthumous meditations), yet had little hold in Catholic states – his answer was that this was the “replacement pope”.
