I don't believe King Henry VIII actually abandoned the entirety of the Catholic faith. However, he did have a major disagreement with the Catholic Pope at the time regarding permissible grounds for divorcing his wife. The disagreement escalated to the point that King Henry VIII schismed from the Catholic Church and founded the Church of England, which permitted him to divorce his wife. However, in most other respects the Church of England's theological teachings and the Catholic Church's theological teachings were very similar.
Henry the VIII was a good roman catholic but he then turned into a protestant (church of England.
No, it was Henry VIII.
Henry VIII was a devout Catholic and remained so all his life.
King Henry VIII separated the Church in England from the control of the Pope, although he initially did not intend to start an entirely separate Protestant faith. By the time of Queen Elizabeth, the split was permanent and the Church of England was a reality.
not very well. from then on he went against Henry and Henry lost his title 'defender of the faith'!!:(
Henry VIII did not form the Catholic Church. He actually broke away from the Catholic Church and formed the Church of England in 1534.
Yes Another answer: Henry VIII himself did not "break away" from the Catholic Church. Henry VIII was a devout Catholic who was awarded the title of "Defender of the Faith" by Pope Leo X after publishing his "Defence of the Seven Sacraments". Despite taking the English Catholic Church away from the authority of Rome and declaring himself Head of the newly formed Church of England, he and the Church, to some extent, remained Catholic. True Protestant reforms would come after he died.
