Best Answer

HenryVIII wanted to setup his own church because he didnt like the catholic pope's power and he didnt let Henry have a divorce with his wife, so Henry decided to setup his own church (protestant) and make himself superior head of all protestant churches.

Henry of course didn't set up his own religion! He opposed the Bishop of Rome in his attempt to achieve mastery over the Continental Church at that time . This was when Henry and the English Church told the pope that he was breaking the Canons of the early Church!

Can wisdom change?

yes. Wisdom is a property of man, man can change, wisdom changes with him. Even religious 'wisdom' (that is an oxymoron actually) does change, since religion is a human vice too, and humans by their nature change. Any religion that states that its wisdom does not change, is actually asking you to suspend your own critical thinking.

Why would it be beneficial to choose your own religion than be made to?

Because it depends on what you beleive and in who you believe. You shouldn't be forced to follow a partiular religion because maybe you don't like that religion or do not believe in it and want to change to some other religion. Sometimes as children we follow the relion of our parents, then at some point in our later lives we find a religion more suited to our own beliefs. If you feel that a change will benefit you then it would be benificial to tell your parents of your deire to make that change.They will understand that you have to follow your heart if they are true Christians.
