Henry always claimed to be a good Catholic, a better Catholic than the Pope.
Accordingly to Henry the Pope was merely Bishop of Rome, and his jurisdiction was
limited to Rome. By comparison, the King of each country was head of the Catholic
Church in said country. The control of the Church by the Bishop of Rome was therefore a usurpation, and the clergy who assented to it were guilty of "praemunire", i.e. loyalty to a foreign ruler (at the time the Pope was temporal ruler of Rome), rather then the King. Howeverin doctrine Henry demanded assent to all traditional Catholic beliefs (i.e. justification through faith and good works) including the sacraments.
