What were the effects of Henry VIII?

Answer 1

Henry was expeting a great deal sorry but i dont no much ill improve it soon .before this some kid sayes ' everything'

I have a different answer...

Many Catholics still felt loyal to the pope and resented the fact that English nobels got Church lands and wealth. Catherine of Aragon was the aunt of Charles V (the most powerful ruler in Europe). Henry had therefore made himself a powerful potential enemy.

Without the monasteries there was nowhere for the poor to go when they were in need of help. beggars started appearing on the streets.

Some people in the north of England revolted against the dissolution of the monasteries in the Pilgrimage of Grace.

The changes Henry made to the Church in England caused catholics and protestants to argue even more in England.

Answer 2

There were many effects brought about by Henry's policies. He ruined the urban economy through his policies especially his destruction of the monasteries.He ruined Britain's relationship with the Continent as well as thee papacy.

But it was not all bad! For two or three hundred years the Church had tried to curb the power and authority of the Bishop of Rome, the Pope as it were! It had been a huge movement and a regular series of Councils called one of them with some two thousand people attending including from the top of the social scale. Two kings including Edward of England!

It wasn't that the Church wanted to get rid of the Pope, but to curtail his power. It isn't the place to go in to the excesses of the Popes, but it was obvious that something had to be done to curtail his failings. Popes had been dismissed, had been imprisoned and there had been two or three at a time. All Europe if not the Christian world had been excommunicated or anathematized at the same time. Even Tom Moore said that he thought the pope should be subservient to the Councils!

The popes had been brought to justice, but eventually the system managed , by trickery and deceit to survive!

What Henry did, for whatever reason was to point out that the Bishop of Rome had no authority in this or any other country but his own, that is without permission!

This was perfectly true, authority in the Church comes from Revelation, Scripture and or the Ecumenical Councils! At the Council of Nice, the first and greatest of the Councils it had been clearly stated , One Bishop, One See! This is what Henry and the English Church pointed out! It was as simple as that! All the bickering of the last two centuries and when the pope was faced with the truth of his mis - applying the canons, he broke off communion with Henry!

Though for awhile he carried on in his old ways helped by the chaos of the reformation.

It is to be noticed that very few people took umbridge at Henry's fall out with the papacy, little did they know it but Henry, for his own purposes had saved the English Catholics from falling in to a pit of Rome's making. Over the years of the medieval period many theological errors had been introduced in to the Catholic Church, this is what the reformation was about? The magisterium, passed to the Church by the apostles had been bypassed and had then been usurped. At a Robber Council, in 1546 the Bishops of Europe were called to attend but few came and chicanery was resorted to including simony! The result was instead of the medieval additions being erased and the teachings of the apostles being restored the new beliefs were confirmed and power was affirmed to be with the papacy. A large part of what had been the Catholic Church had passed in to a new sect! What was to be called the,New Church of Trent!

This is what Henry saved the English Catholics from!

Answer 3

It introduced the Anglican Religion to the world, and after some interruptions it started a strong constitutional position against the Roman religion in Great Britain and the UK. The Catholic faith is not now subject to persecution in the UK, but it was under Henry 8. Westminster Abbey (of happy recent memory) was in fact originally a Roman Catholic Abbey of Benedictine monks; it was closed by Henry. By law no monarchs can be Roman Catholic, nor married to a Roman Catholic. Being a Catholic removes one from the line of succession. The British monarch is the temporal head of the Anglican Church; it would be awkward if such a head were a member of some other faith. The Act of Settlement of 1701 is the current UK law that establishes the true line of succession of British/UK monarchs, and establishes the position against a monarchy connected in any way with Roman Catholicism.

Henry 8 went to such extreme lengths in his desperate struggle to secure his line through a male heir. And as it eventually turned out, he failed.
