And so, it would seem, that Henry VIII’s exercise in usurping the provenance of God may be coming to an end.

Again, there were a multiplicity of issues. One of them was whether the Pope should be allowed to appoint Cardinals and Bishops without the approval of kings, queens and other nobles.

That little issue is still alive in China ~ just incase anyone thought it was going away.

BTW, the Catholic church lost control of divorce ~ first in England, then everywhere else!

Henry's libido won, but this business of appointing bishops wasn't all it was claimed to be.

Maybe at some point a present or future pope will aver that kissing a Koran was a mistake too.

In the meantime if individual conservative minded erstwhile Anglican protestant congregations want to join, say, the Southern Baptist Convention or the Church of God or a conservative Lutheran synod, they’d likely get the right hand of fellowship.

You say “usurping the provenance of God”, or alternately you could say “correcting the domination of the Bishop of Rome”.
