An Act extinguishing the authority of the bishop of Rome (28 Hen. 8. c. 10) was an Act of Parliament passed by the Parliament of England in 1536. It consisted mostly of a violent attack on the authority of the Pope and his followers, and declared that those who committed the following offences would be liable for prosecution under the Statute of Praemunire 1392:
The Act also required all religious and secular officers, those taking Holy Orders, and those starting a degree at university to take an oath renouncing the jurisdiction of Rome and acknowledging Royal Supremacy. Refusing to take the oath was high treason (until 1547).
The Act was repealed in 1554 by 1 & 2 Ph. & M. c. 8.
