| Caroline Divines From Project Canterbury Overview The school of Anglican preachers and theologians living under King Charles I, the Interregnum and Charles II are known collectively as the Caroline Divines. Their extensive patristic and scriptural learning was put to use in defense of the continuity of the Church of England with the pre-reformation Ecclesia Anglicana, as well as the episcopal form of church government against the contemporary claims of presbyterians. They taught the Real Presence, the use of auricular confession, and the observance of the fasts and festivals of the Church year. The writings of the Caroline Divines were collected by adherents of the Oxford Movement and published in the extensive (and never completed) Library of Anglo-Catholic Theology.
