Henry VIII was someone who publicly showed that God's Will can be disposed with whenever it is "inconvenient," thus setting an example for future licentiousness, sin, and crime. Was he the first to do this? No. But he was probably the first head of state to do so, and to enforce his heresy by rule of "law."

What the hay? Kennedy got an annulment, so did Kerry...that's all that Henry Tutor was asking! Clement VII (first cousin to (gay Leo X) is one of worst popes in history. He should have ex-communicated Charles V (the real power behind denial of Henry's request) as he allowed a sack of Rome which made the Vandal raids 1,000 years earlier look like a tea party.

Kennedy got an annulment, so did Kerry...

Do you have proof of that or are you just repeating what you heard and saw on the boob tube?

Boston Prelates… Deny Kerry Got An Annulment

[Romulus]

The Church knew all about annulments. The fact is that Henry had no grounds for one, having specifically petitioned for a dispensation to marry Catherine in the first place. Every marriage should be as well-vetted as that one was.

Leo X’s affective disorders (if any) are a matter of speculation and in any case irrelevant unless you’re looking for a cheap drive-by slur.
