Henry VIII???
If Henry VIII was a Reformer Benny Hinn is the next pope.
BTW, how how many Popes had children? I assume John The Baptist would wink at that?

Then get ready for Benny Hinn’s papal election. Henry VIII indeed was a “Reformer”.
1) Through Cranmer he introduced the Exhortation and Litany, which was the first English only service manual ever. It’s Protestant character was unmistakeable. It weakened the place of the communion of saints, for instance. It was published in 1544 and relied heavily upon Martin Luther’s own service books and, if I am not mistaken, Miles Coverdale’s Bible translation.
In addition to changing the rituals of the Church and making them increasingly Protestant, Henry VIII robbed and closed over 2,000 chapels, monasteries, convents, hospitals, colleges, chantries, and orphanages.
So, he changed the Catholic rituals, attacked doctrine thereby, robbed the Church, murdered those monks and clerics who opposed him, etc. Yep, he was a “Reformer”.
“BTW, how how many Popes had children?”
A bunch.
“I assume John The Baptist would wink at that?”
No. But John the Baptist also never said Judaism was false just because the Pharisees were hypocrites either. He would extend the same reasoning to Christianity at the very least don’t you think?
