Was henry the v111 a catholic when he died?

Henry VIII was excommunicated from the Catholic Church in 1533 after his break with Rome, primarily due to his desire to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. By the time of his death in 1547, he had established the Church of England, which retained some Catholic traditions but was distinct from the Roman Catholic Church. Although he maintained some Catholic practices, he was not considered a Catholic in the traditional sense at the time of his death.

Why did England form a new church and how did the catholic church reform itself?

During the reign of Henry VIII the English Catholic Church separated from Rome and Henry was made Head of the Catholic Church which was renamed the Church of England. This was because Henry needed a divorce from his wife who could not give him a male heir, and the Pope would not annul the marriages. After Henry's death the church was engilfed in conflict as to the nature of the new church, many wanted to reform the church away from Catholicism and adopt the new Protestant ideas coming from within England and Europe. The Puritans wanted a complete removal of all traces of Rome as an example. During the reign of Elizabeth I a compromise was reached where the Church of England retained some Catholic practices and dopted some Protestant reforming ideas. The new faith evolved as the Anglican faith which remains to this day a unique mix of both Catholic and Protestant.


What is Henry VIII theology?

If you mean religion, Henry (when he was young) wrote a book about the Catholic religion and how good it was, he was in good books with the pope (who let him marry his first wife Catherine of Aragon, even though she was married to his brother), but when he wanted to divorce her/get an annulment he fell out with the Pope and created the Church of England, becoming protestant. However on his death bed, King Henry VIII said he was a Catholic.


Why Henry VIII change his mind about the protestants?
