Cardinal Wolsey tried to warn the Pope at the time that Henry Tudor was a true whore-hound and England could very well could be lost to the Church, but did he listen?
Yeah, but to Katherine’s nephew, Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor ... duh.

So now we’ve got skeptics seeing dozens (hundreds?) of Protestant denominations all calling one another mistaken, and agreeing with one another only on the point that the Catholic church is ... the Whore of Babylon.

The Holy Roman Catholic Mother Church abhors Luther’s offspring as Hell-bound heretics.

And all from Henry VIII’s supercharged libido.
Oh well.
Maybe you’re all wrong?

Really? Where did that happen?

Your knowledge of history is lacking. Henry VIII didn't start "Protestantism", he didn't like Luther or any of the Reformers. He even put some Reformers to death such as William Tyndale but also executed a few Catholics when he decided to break from the Pope of Rome and make himself the head of the church in England. The Church of England (Anglican Church) remained quite similar to Roman Catholicism in many ways.
