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?

Are you raising the dim and barely perceived notion that somewhere once lived an Englishman who wasn't totally and completely honest? Perish the thought!

Actually, the notion I am putting forth is that the Anglican Church's existence prior to The Roman Catholic Church is essentially laughable.
St. Thomas More would most likely agree with me. He too, was a defender of the primacy of the Pope.
