How long do you think that Mary was queen? Or More was Lord Chancellor under Henry? Even Henry’s spell of anti-Lutheran activity lasted less than a decade before he turned to Cromwell and Cranmer to remake the English Church. These reforms were so unpopular in England that only the people’s attachment to the dynasty forestalled a rebellion. As for the Roman influence, probably the only strongly Romanist we ever had as king was Henry V.

You pretend that Henry VIII himself was not a Catholic. In his belief, the Church of England was not a part of Reformed Christianity, and he did not regard his schism with Rome as any different from the Great Schism of 1054, which was almost entirely over primacy, and not the apostasy of Rome (as the Reformers held.) Did you not know? Henry murdered Reformers; the pope named him "Defender of the Faith."
