Henry was christened Catholic but when the church refused him a divorce from Catherine of Aragon so he could marry Anne Boleyn, he fought it and was excommunicated for his formation of the Church of England so he and England became Protestant except for a few hold-outs who were persecuted for the few Tudor reigns.

∙ 12y agoKing Henry VIII was born a Catholic, and remained one until the pope would not grant him a divorce from his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. He then decided not to remain with Catholic Church, and to form a separate church in England-- a protestant one. So by the time he died, he was officially a protestant (although many still believe he was basically a Catholic at heart). His eldest daughter, Queen Mary, would rule as a Catholic, and his youngest daughter, Queen Elizabeth I, would rule as a protestant.
