Interesting how your hatred of Catholics causes you to lump them in with the brutal Pharaohs, the Sodomites, and the genocidal Soviets. You do side with Henry the 8th though, agreeing with his assessment that he should be granted an annulment. Nice.

No, no, just the opposite in fact (and I’m sorry if that’s the impression I made)! All I’m saying is that maybe they got it wrong (made a big mistake IOW) when they let him marry his brother’s widow (thus ignoring Leviticus), and then wouldn’t annul the wedding (ignoring Leviticus yet again)—for political reasons. It would have been better for Catholicism if “Burly King Harry” got his annulment; protestantism (and I’m not knocking that either) would not have spread over the English-speaking world as it did had England not gone “reformed.” This is a huge “what if”, I realize.
