The Book of Common Prayer

The book of common prayer was authorized by act of parliament early in 15 forty nine. It's been modified a few times over the years, but it's still in use to day. Many catholics resented the book because it cha anged the language that they were accustomed to and also because it removed all rituals and practices associated with catholicism.
