Well the papacy had had their rule ended but that’s as far as I have found out. Matej, Seb and I are building a computer this morning so I’m done for a bit!
The best thing about this thread, and excuse me if I’ve said this before, is the research takes you off into all sorts of areas of life where I wouldn’t otherwise choose to go, and I find that very interesting.
e.g. sixteenth century Scottish history

They certainly did - via the Papal Jurisdiction Act 1560, which I believe is still in force today. It declared that the pope had no jurisdiction in Scotland - a declaration that led to a split in authority to conduct a specific ceremony. I'd hazard a guess that most people in this forum have taken part in that ceremony.
That marriage could be performed by civil authorities as opposed to only by the church ?
Yes - that's it. Marriage became a civil matter rather than a church sacrament and became divided into two types - regular and irregular.
Regular marriages conducted by the church were almost the preserve of the gentry and landowners - irregular marriages were the preserve of everyone else and could take place in one of three ways: a public declaration by the couple that they were husband and wife (sometimes known as handfasting because they held hands as they made the declaration), by mutual agreement; or simply by living together and being publicly recognised as husband & wife. It was the irregular marriages that were declared illegal in England two hundred years later.
Over to you.
Cheers BB. Which belated literary honour did Henry Fielding win against Oliver Goldsmith and why ? This was about a hundred years later.
Not actually an official honour but one which Fielding would have been proud of if he had lived to see it. This has to do with another great writer - the evidence of this was still walking around until 1933.
Charles Dickens named one of his sons after Henry Fielding though originally intended to name him after Oliver Goldsmith. Sir Henry Fielding Dickens KC d.1933.
All yours Fez
Fielding and Goldsmith were Dickens' two favourite authors - he abandoned the original choice because he was afraid his son would be teased due to being compared to Oliver Twist.
