What nation became protestant because its ruler wanted a divorce that the pope would not grant?
I think you are reffering to King Henry VIII of England wanting to annul (not divorce) his marriage to his first wife, Katharine of Aragon. The Roman Catholic Church would not allow him to do this, so he broke away from Romer and set up his own church in England which he declared himself the head of. Some speculate that he did this mainly because he wanted the English lands and monasteries that belonged to the Church in Rome to be his instead. This church that he made in England was not really Protestant to begin with as Henry VIII considered himself a Catholic -just not a Roman Catholic. However the Anglican Church took on more Protestant beliefs after Henry's reign, particularly during the reigns of Edward VI and Elizabeth I. Today the Anglican Church considers itself to be both Catholic and Reformed.
