Was Henry VIII Really Protestant?

The Truth About His Faith and the English Reformation

 

He broke from Rome. He dissolved the monasteries. He declared himself Supreme Head of the Church of England…
So that makes Henry VIII Protestant, right?
Not quite.

In this video, we explore:

• Why Henry VIII broke with the Pope (spoiler: it wasn’t about theology)
• His 1521 book defending the Catholic sacraments against Martin Luther
• The Act of Supremacy and what it really meant
• The Six Articles and the continued persecution of Protestants
• What changed under Henry—and what stayed Catholic
• The king’s final days and the beliefs he clung to on his deathbed

Tell me in the comments:
Do you think Henry ever intended to spark a Reformation?
Or was it all about control?
