Yes, about the thought behind what I wrote, it was later than the English Reformation and
King Henry's need for a divorce from Queen Catherine that the Roman Catholic Church

In the 18th and 19th centuries the Church suffered major internal disruption which led to
the formation of new Scottish Churches and by the mid 1800s the United Presbyterian Church
was formed. The Free Church of Scotland was an evangelical Presbyterian Church formed
when approximately one third of the Church of Scotland's congregations broke away.

The CoS was founded at the feet of Calvin, a very well thought out
alternative to the Roman Church. It certainly wasn't created as a snub to

The CoE, although nominally Protestant, was a quick fix to allow divorce for

at the similarities betwixt the RC and the CoE. I have often heard it given
the appellation of the English Catholic Church.
