wow...thats a real dumb answer....there certainly was theft by certain corrupt priests and some bishops may have been involved...there have been corrupt popes and heterodox popes...even in the present day...such as pope paul vi...the catholic faith never changed anything in the bible it always followed it in conjunction with tradition (as the originator of Christianity)...after all the bible itself comes from tradition...it was established by the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH at the COUNCIL of NICAEA in the 300's...so to all protestants that believe in sola scriptura (bible alone as a source of faith and teaching) know that ur bible was completely compiled and determined by the CATHOLIC CHURCH....
NOW TO ANSWER THE QUESTION
Martin Luther saw some real abuses in the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH...corrupt thieving power and possession hungry bishops of noble birth....not to mention selling of indulgences...due to his lack of formal education and what not...he did not know the above teaching as it truly is...he had no love for philosophy or rational thought...so when the church addressed and corrected the issues at the council of trent...martin luther, not out of spite but simply with good intention (due to his lack of formal education) never came to terms with them...although he considered himself CATHOLIC till the day he died...Henry VIII wasp appointed defender of the faith (fidei defensor) by Pope Leo X due to his opposition to Martin Luther...Henry actually wrote a pamphlet attacking Luther's 95 theses...At a later time he wanted a male heir and seeing that his wife could not provide him one he requested a divorce....divorces are not alllowed... they already had a kid so an anullment (declaring that the marriage never existed) was out of the question...when the Pope would not grant hiim an anullment (and rightly so) he established his own church (with him as the head) in response...honestly i have no idea how somebody can be Anglican knowing this history...U recognize Thomas More (Henry's advisor who he executed because he would not leave Roman Catholicism) as a saint and he was executed by the founder of your faith who was a philanderer, serial wife murderer, and basically a big baby....so there

How did Calvin's reforms differ from Luther's and King Henry?
Calvin's reforms emphasized the sovereignty of God and predestination, focusing on a disciplined church structure and the importance of moral living, which contrasted with Luther's emphasis on justification by faith and personal faith experience. While Luther sought to reform the Catholic Church from within, Calvin established a more radical approach by creating a new church model, particularly in Geneva. King Henry VIII's reforms were largely politically motivated, centered on his desire to annul his marriage and establish the Church of England, which retained many Catholic doctrines and practices. Thus, Calvin's theological focus and church governance differed significantly from Luther's and Henry's more personal and political motivations.

Presbyterians issued from Scotland, in the Scottish Church established by John Knox. John Knox had been ordained a Catholic priest. Later he fled the country to Geneva and came under John Calvin's influence.

Presbyterians didn't so much split from the Catholic church, although Knox had been a Catholic priest, but were really an offshoot of Calvinist beliefs.

How did the Protestants effect Henry from breaking from the Catholic Church?
There were no protestants before that time in England. The only reason Henry VIII broke away from the church is so he could divorce Catharine of Aragon (divorce was not allowed in the Catholic Church) and marry Anne Boleyn. Actually, Martin Luther had already made his split from the Catholic Church before Henry had is 'little problem.' He defended the Church against Martin Luther's heresies and received the title of 'Defender of the Faith' from the pope.

Martin Luther created the Protestant Reformation to change the ways of the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Henry the VIII, who was a Catholic at the time, fell in love with a Protestant woman name Anne Boleyn.

How did Calvin's reform's differ from Luther's and King Henry VIII's?
Calvin's reforms emphasized predestination and a more systematic approach to theology, focusing on a disciplined church governance and the moral conduct of believers, which contrasted with Luther's emphasis on justification by faith alone and the authority of Scripture. Luther sought to reform the Catholic Church from within, while Calvin established a distinct Protestant tradition with a strong ecclesiastical structure. King Henry VIII's reforms were primarily political, motivated by his desire for an annulment and the establishment of the Church of England, rather than theological principles. Thus, while all three sought to reform Christianity, their motivations and approaches varied significantly.
