They were popular
They were controversial
They were ignored
They were universally accepted
Answer
Edward Seymour's religious measures were controversial because they did not go far enough for Protestants and not far enough for Catholics. Protestants wanted to see more radical changes, such as the removal of all images and relics from churches, while Catholics wanted to keep the old ways of worship. Seymour's reforms were a compromise that pleased neither side, and they led to further unrest and division in England.
