High church
Historian John Callow claims Anne "made the greatest single impact" in the process that led to James becoming a Catholic. Raised in the Anglican High church tradition which was closely linked to the forms and practices of Catholicism, Anne stopped attending Anglican service in 1669. James converted around the same time but at Charles' request delayed the announcement until 1673. Although he later converted to Catholicism on his deathbed, for political reasons Charles insisted their children be raised as Protestants, so both Mary and Anne were members of the Church of England.
