How and why did Queen Mary reverse the Reformation in England?

This lesson focuses on Queen Mary, or Bloody Mary, and how she reverted the English Church back to Catholicism and restored the Pope as Head of the Church. It will compare her religious changes to Henry VIII’s and Edward VI’s. It will also look at WHY she made these changes.
