Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a fascinating and contentious debate that raged in 17th century England: the power of the monarch to grant dispensations from the law. The author examines the landmark Act of Parliament passed in 1673, which aimed to prevent dangers from Popish recusants, or those who refused to conform to the Church of England. This act required individuals holding positions of power to take oaths of allegiance and receive the sacrament. The book then examines the historical context of this act, outlining the complex and fraught relationship between the Crown and Parliament, and the fears of a Catholic resurgence in England. The author meticulously dissects the concept of dispensations, tracing their origins back to the Roman Catholic Church and the Popes' controversial practice of granting exemptions from their own decrees. The book then moves on to a detailed analysis of the legal and theological arguments against dispensations, arguing that they fundamentally undermine the very foundation of law and governance. The book explores the implications of granting such power to the Crown, and how it could lead to abuses of authority and erode the principle of equality before the law. Ultimately, this book offers valuable insights into the struggle for power and religious freedom in 17th century England, and the enduring debate about the limits of royal prerogative.
