“Second, King Henry VIII of England also broke with the Catholic Church in the 1530s. He was not interested in reform or even in theology; he just wanted a divorce.”
That’s not the history I was taught from several sources. Henry VIII was a flawed man, but he was interested in theology and the corruption of the Catholic church.
From what I read, being the wife of Henry VIII was a very dangerous occupation.
Second verse, same as the first...
interesting a debate between 2 sets of rewriters of Holy Scripture...
Your "sources" were wrong. The sole reason Henry split was because he wanted a divorce. Before that point he had engaged in vigorous defense of Roman Catholicism against various Protestant ideas, sufficiently so to be awarded the title "Defender of the Faith" by the Pope.
When he split, he kept the title, but not the reality.
