No, 16th century England was predominantly Catholic until King Henry VIII broke away from the Catholic Church in the 1530s, causing the English Reformation and establishing the Church of England as the official state church. This led to a gradual shift towards Protestantism in England.
The Protestant Anglican Church in England was founded by King Henry VIII in the 16th century. His desire for an annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, which the Pope refused, led to a break from the Roman Catholic Church. In 1534, the Act of Supremacy declared Henry as the Supreme Head of the Church of England, establishing Anglicanism as a distinct branch of Christianity.
King Henry VIII's son, Edward VI, played a pivotal role in establishing the Church of England by law. Under his reign, the Book of Common Prayer was introduced, solidifying Protestant practices in the Church. However, it was Henry VIII himself who initiated the break from the Catholic Church, eventually leading to the formal establishment of the Church of England.
Henry VIII was raised a Catholic, but in 1534 after disputes with Papal authority he declared himself to be the supreme head of the Church of England establishing the Anglican Church as an independent denomination.
The Church of England teaches that a marriage is for life, but also recognises that some marriages sadly do fail and if this should happen, it has the structure to be available to help and sympathise for all involved.
The two religions founded during the English Renaissance were Anglicanism, with Henry VIII establishing the Church of England in the 16th century, and Puritanism, which emerged as a reaction against the perceived corruption within the Church of England. Anglicanism became the established church in England, while Puritans sought to purify and reform it further.
