As Henry VIII completely disavowed Christ's rule through His appointed Vicar, the Pope, his reformation was completely protestant.
The invention of the printing press, along with increasing literacy rates, were two significant factors that contributed to the success of the Protestant Reformation. The reformation was led in large part by Martin Luther.
Martin Luther led the reformation which began in Germany. It was formed as a reaction to the percieved corruption of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, especially the Papal policy of the sale of indulgences (the ability for a person to pay for forgiveness and exemptions from commited mortal and corporeal sins)
Henry VIII was not involved in any conflict between Protestants and Catholics. As far as he was concerned he changed the "Church of Rome" under the Pope into the "Church of England" under himself. He went after the monasteries, convents and churches of the Catholic church because of their riches that he confiscated for himself, using as a pretext that he suspected them of remaining loyal to the Pope. Gradually, the Church of England came to be considered as a "Protestant" religion, basically because of its opposition to the Catholic church and because - just as the Lutherans and Calvinists - it had started to revert to 'Bible-based' instead of 'Church teaching'-based religion. Henry's daughter Elisabeth saw herself clearly in the Protestant camp; Henry himself saw himself just as 'anti-Pope'.
Henry Kelsey went south and west of Hudson Bay and got as far as the Saskatchewan River.
Only one as far as I know: Joseph Goebbels. His sin? Marrying a Protestant.
Reform Roman Catholicism, which had become very corrupt and strayed far away from the teachings of the Bible.
The Protestant Reformation was deemed to be necessary to correct abuses and corruption that were endemic within the Roman Catholic Church, which used its far-reaching spiritual, financial, and political power to control and manipulate people afraid for their eternal souls. The Reformation helped refocus organized religion on its fundamental tenets--and was responsible in part as well for the later Counterreformation, which was a reformation within the Catholic Church that sought to rid itself of some of these abuses. Better said would be a large number of disenchanted Catholics believed a change was necessary. And, the Anglican Church was believed to be too much like Catholicism.

No. Protestantism is one of three branches of the Christian religion. In Germany, since this was the home of Martin Luther, Lutheranism is by far the strongest, Luther himself being one of the key leaders of the Protestant Reformation.

The printing press has had a world wide influence for almost 500 years. Martain Luther used the printing press to make documents promoting the Protestant Reformation and the pamphlets circulated as far as Eastern Europe and Northen Africa
There are Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Protestant and Ecumenical (e.g., Taize) monasteries. There are far more Catholic monasteries than Orthodox monasteries, largely because there are more Catholics that Orthodox. There are a few Protestant monasteries, but these are comparatively recent. Much of the Protestant Reformation was directed at abolishing monasteries, and it's only recently that some Protestants have decided that maybe monasteries are not such a bad idea, after all. The number of Ecumenical (Usually combined Catholic + Protestant) monasteries is very small, but many of the few that exist have been enormously influential, again citing the example of Taize.
the complete lack of one, as far as i know.
.Catholic AnswerThe "reformation" was a bunch of people unable to attend the Sacraments that Our Blessed Lord established for their salvation because a few individuals (notably Martin Luther and Henry VIII) were too wrapped up in their personal sins to listen to the Church. The "reformation" had nothing to do with "fixing" the Church, but with people throwing their salvation away, convincing their princes to follow them and thus removing the possibility of salvation for generations yet to come. In short, the "reformation" far from fixing the Church was, instead, a total disaster for many, many people and their succeeding generations.
As far as historians know his full name is Henry Hudson.
The Latin Rite Roman Catholic Church is by far the largest Catholic Church in the world.
He didn't. There were many rifts between the 'Catholic' Church - especially the Great schism between the Church in the East and the West - long before Henry VIII. As for the Protestant Church , even this had little to do with Henry, but began long before Henry mostly by Martin Luther, a German monk, who quarrelled with the Church over corrupt practices, especially the doctrine of purgatory and the selling of indulgences. This culminated in his publishing his 'theses' against the Church by nailing them to a church door at Wittenberg. As a result Martin Luther was excommunicated but he, Calvin and Zwingli between them began the Reformation and the formation of the Protestant Church - so called as it 'protested' against Rome. As for Henry, there was already a great sympathy for the Protestant movement in England not least because of the corruption and power wielded by the monasteries. The refusal of the Pope to grant an annulment of the marriage between Anne Boleyn and Henry (for political reasons as far as Henry was concerned) was the last straw and resulted in Henry yielding to public pressure and forming the Church of England, with Christ (not the Pope) as head of the Church, with Henry himself (and subsequent monarchs) as 'supreme governor' on earth, and the Archbishop of Canterbury as spiritual leader. He subsequently dissolved the monasteries in England, seizing their treasures, allowed the Bible and Prayer Book to be written in English and not solely in Latin, and tried to ensure that the Protestant line would continue through his descendents, an effort in which, with the exception of Mary I, he was successful. Henry VIII is regarded as somewhat of a tyrant king by modern historians, but this is a little unfair. While there is no doubt that, when riled, he was not to be argued with (after all he did arrange the execution of two of his six wives), he was generally liked by the populace as a whole, was a clever and astute ruler, and a first class musician (he wrote the tune 'Greensleeves' among many others), and it is a shame that he is remembered solely for 'starting a fight' between Catholics and Protestants, when he was not to blame for such a rift or arguement.
