What are "The Forty-Two Propositions of Marsiglio of Padua" in the novel, Wolf Hall?

The Forty-Two Propositions of Marsiglio of Padua are a set of theological questions, statements, and positions with respect to the practices of the Catholic Church, written in 1324 and seized upon by Thomas More in the 1530s to further demonstrate the king’s power over the Church in England. The Propositions include the assertion, for example, that Jesus Christ did not give His apostles the power to lay and collect taxes –which the Church of Cromwell’s day, does. Henry uses this as further proof of his authority over the Church.
