Question

In the 1500s, how did the Church of England differ from the Catholic Church?

The Church of England incorporated only Protestant beliefs, while the Catholic Church incorporated only Catholic beliefs.
The Church of England was led by a monarch, while the Catholic Church was led by a pope.
The Church of England did not include priests as church leaders, while the Catholic Church did have priests.
The Church of England conducted services in Latin, while the Catholic Church conducted services in German

Answer 1

The only correct statement is the second one: "The Church of England was led by a monarch, while the Catholic Church was led by a pope."

Brief explanation:
- In the 1530s Henry VIII broke with Rome and (by the Act of Supremacy, 1534) made the English monarch the head of the Church of England. The Roman Catholic Church remained under the authority of the pope in Rome.
- The other statements are incorrect:
- The Church of England was not purely Protestant in the 1500s: it kept many Catholic practices and doctrines at first and later moved toward Protestant reforms (especially under Edward VI); it became a distinctive mix (the Elizabethan "via media").
- The Church of England did have priests (Anglican priests); it did not eliminate them.
- Catholic services in the 1500s were typically in Latin, not German; the Church of England began using English services (e.g., the Book of Common Prayer) as part of its Reformation reforms.
