Accused of popery,

Is that like impersonating a pope without a license?

Francis will never be accused of that.

He was trying to make the Church of England more Catholic or high Church. Popery meant being a Roman Catholic or what was called a papist. They didn’t use the word Catholic, since the CoE considered itself Catholic.

Laud’s efforts resulted in opposition from Puritans and other strong protestants who had been tolerated in the CoE and was a cause of the English Civil War.
