| Summary: | In attempting to compute the precise dimensions of Henry VIII's ecclesiastical supremacy, historians have frequently invoked the traditional canonistic distinction between the powers of order and jurisdiction. Most have concluded that the supremacy extended only to the power of jurisdiction. Some, however, have periodically claimed that Edward Foxe in his De vera differentia attributed to the king the power of order, the truly sacerdotal, sacramental power. The article demonstrates that such claims depend on inaccuracies in Henry, Lord Stafford's 1548 translation of the De vera differentia, have no basis in Foxe's original Latin text, and are simply incorrect. |
