Answer
The Catholic Church was the dominant religious denomination during Tyndale's time. Its influence was all-pervasive, shaping Theological landscape and controlling the interpretation of religious texts. Tyndale's translation of the Bible into English, directly from its original languages, posed a significant challenge to the established religious hierarchy and their monopoly over scriptural understanding.
