Okay, so what you believe is that the Anglican Church existed, was Romanized around the fourth century and then DE-Romanized about a thousand years later by Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. Interesting historical perspective. What history books do you draw this information from?

You are just looking at it from a Vatican-centric viewpoint. According to them. That has never been an absolute opinion in England. One might well argue too that the line of the papacy is inconsistant for political reasons and be correct. In point of fact though, England was never completely Romanized, though never from lack of trying.

Henry VIII was quite cozy with the Vatican before he sought annulment. Prior to that he was granted the title Defender of the Faith by the Pope. Why would that be if they did not recognize the primacy of the Bishop of Rome?
