Oxford History of Anglicanism, Vol.1: Reformation, (#23): Peter Marshal:...

he Elizabethan Settlement: Act of Supremacy and Uniformity, the Prayer Book, the Injunctions, the Book of Homilies, the Articles of Religion and, perhaps, Bishop John Jewel's Apology for the Church of England. This was an almost unprecedented concentration of doctrinal, liturgical and politic-ecclesial power. However, few believed it was the "final" step or steps toward further reforms, step by step, yet with no end in view. Elizabeth 1, the 25-year old theologian, has other views in mind.

February 1229 A.D.   Council of Toulouse-- "We prohibit laymen possessing copies of the Old and New Testament" Wohlberg, Steve. “Papal Rome Against the Bible.”   White Horse Media. N.d. http://www.whitehorsemedia.com/articles/?d=99#.VJGcA8J0xjo .   Accessed 16 Dec 2014.   From the 1200s to the 1800s, Papal leaders openly condemned the reading of the Bible in the vernacular (the language of the common people) and even persecuted those caught with copies of the Scriptures in their possession.

Although the Crusade did not eliminate Catharism, it eventually enabled the French king to establish his authority over the south.
