What was the biggest challenge to the supremacy of the Anglican church 1625-88?

Between 1625 and 1688, Britain was subject to significant religious changes and challenges,
from the rise of arminianism 1625-45, to the imposition of Presbyterianism 1645-48, to the
freedom of the interregnum and finally to oppressive measures of the restoration and the
more liberal values of James’ rule. Ultimately, the extent to which something acted as a
challenge to the supremacy of the Anglican church might be measured by its threat to the
Anglican church’s position as the national religion, to the King, as head of the Anglican
church, or to the church’s role in deciding national policy. Since the primary objective of the
Anglican church is to be the national religion of England, Presbyterianism is the biggest
challenge, due to the popularity of its supremacy in 1645-48. Secondly, Catholicism, which
births the popish plot and exclusion crisis, is a menace to the security of Charles II, as shown
by the genuine threat of the Rye House Plot. While much commotion was made about the
threat of radical groups, they were easily identified and destroyed, meaning their threat was
minimal. Equally, puritans, although radical and dangerous in the concept of their theology,
chose to emigrate rather than oppose the Anglican church, or split off into weaker radical
groups.

Between 1625 and 1688, Britain was subject to significant religious changes and challenges,
from the rise of arminianism and the imposition of Presbyterianism to the freedom of the
interregnum and the oppressive measures of the restoration, followed by the liberties of
James’ rule. Ultimately the extent to which something acted as a challenge to the
supremacy of the Anglican church may be measured by its threat to the position of the
Anglican church as the national religion. Hence, Presbyterianism ought to be considered the
greatest challenge, due to the popularity of its supremacy in 1645-48.
