For many years, the immutability of the ideals of the Church had been reflected in the permanence of the costume worn during religious services. However, the spread of Protestantism and Nonconformity across Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries led to a marked divergence between the costumes of the different clergy. In England, for example. Queen Elizabeth l's Act of Uniformity, passed in 1559, marked the start of a reaction against the outward symbols of the Catholic Church, such as ecclesiastical vestments and the tonsure. In countries such as Italy, though, which remained Catholic, vestments survived, often becoming even more elaborate.
