What did Henry VIII of England use to transform his country into a Protestant state?
Marcbeaubrun
Henry VIII did not consider himself to be a Protestant, he just disagreed with the Catholic Church over the issue of divorce. He wanted to divorce Catherine of Aragon because of her inability to provide him with a male heir, but the Catholic Church forbade divorce so Henry founded the Church of England in order to break with Rome. But he regarded it more as the Catholic Church of England- basically the same as mainstream Catholicism, but with the added clause thrown in permitting divorce. Despite being excommunicated by The Pope he regarded himself to be a Catholic until he died and did not wish to go down the Protestant path. It was subsequent British monarchs, together with the combined influence of disaffected religious leaders both in England and in Continental Europe, that gradually established Protestantism as the leading British religion and led to the Anglican Church of England as oppose to the variant of Catholicism that King Henry VIII actually wanted. I think that after his excommunication, he always lived in hope that The Pope would come round to his way of thinking, or reconsider whether England could be allowed to have a catholic variancy.
