What impact did herny vll action have on England in the second half of the 1500?

Answer 1

The Pope was not in absolute power or was the head of the Catholic Church anymore, the King was and that was Henry VIII.

By the second half of the 1500's Henry was dead. He had weakened the Church and allowed its protestant enemies to grow stronger, whist the friends of the papacy were to rally under his daughter Mary with a view to rejoining the papal coalition.

But the most important impact Henry was to have was to stop or prevent the English from attending the English Clergy from attending the Council of Trent! It is interesting to see that even under his eldest daughter English Bishops appear to have stayed away! This prevented the English Church from lapsing in to schism as the continental catholics did under the leadership of the papacy!
