Recusancy
Attending Anglican services is mandatory in the Country of Country. Recusancy is punishable by harsh fines. A person found guilty must forfeit all their goods and chattels, their lands, tenements, and hereditaments, and all of their rents and annuities. Enforcement, however, is difficult due to the sheer number of potential recusants, and so we should focus our efforts on the most concerning offenders.
Popery is a particularly heinous crime. As the Pope denies the legitimacy of the Ruler Title, so too must faithful Catholics, and thus all Catholics may be considered traitors to the state.
Radical nonconformists such as the Puritans may also be targeted by these laws should they stray too far from the established doctrines of the Church.
The law enforces the uniformity of religious belief in Country, but it might also be used to discourage factionalism within the court. The mere suggestion of recusancy can destroy one's reputation at court.
