Henry was a good catholic at first and went to church 3 time per day. He even received an award from the pope called `Fidei Defensor` which meant Defender of Faith. Henry was so pleased that he put it on cions and you can still see it today on some coins. But later in life the pope excommunicated him from the church. When he demanded a devorce which was none to be impossible but did it anyway like the song Divorced beheaded died divorced beheaded survived!!!!!!!!!!! :)
King Henry VIII of England was certainly a Catholic when he began his reign and may have thought of himself as a Catholic even after his break with Rome. In medieval times, there are many instances of power struggles between local monarchs and the pope of the time. Henry may have thought of his disagreement in this light, believing that ultimately the church would adapt. However, politics played out among his successors and gradually the English Church became permanently separated from the Roman Catholic Church.
Yes, Henry lived in a time where mainly Catholicism existed in England. It was only until Henry VIII (son of Henry VII) broke away from the catholic church and formed the church of england, that Protestantism was formed.
The Defence of the Seven Sacraments (in Latin, Assertio Septem Sacramentorum) is a theological treatise written by King Henry VIII of England in 1521.
Scarisbrick describes the work as "one of the most successful pieces of Catholic polemics produced by the first generation of anti-Protestant writers." It went through some twenty editions in the sixteenth century and, as early as 1522, had appeared in two different German translations.
It was dedicated to Pope Leo X, who rewarded Henry with the title Fidei Defensor (Defender of the Faith) in October 1521 (a title revoked following the king's break with the Catholic Church, but re-awarded to his heir by the English Parliament).
Yes, Henry was born and raised as a Catholic. He was even given the title 'Defender of the Faith' by the pope. However, in later life he decided to split from the Church and form his own religion where he could make the rules.
Henry VII was a very good Catholic as were all the Kings and Queens of Europe at the time, I presume you mean Henry VIII rather than Henry VII? Well, he too started off as a very 'good Catholic' I suppose. He quarrelled with the Pope over his 'divorce' from Katherine of Aragon and in some manner became the Head of the Church in England following that quarrel but to the day he died Henry VIII would never have considered himself anything but 'Catholic' and worshipped in a Catholic manner until the day he died.
Henry VII was a Catholic. Henry VIII was a Catholic who later apostatised, forming the Church of England, so as a heretic, he started the protestant church in England.
Henry the VIII was a good roman catholic but he then turned into a protestant (church of England.

It is likely that he did, having been a good Catholic for at least the first part of his life.
I'm not sure if this is the answer but i think the catholic was popular in Henry VIII reign because he supported catholics himself.
Henry VIII broke away from the Roman Catholic Church and founded the Church of England.
Henry VIII was the King of England. He is best known for breaking away from the Catholic Church and his six wives.
