While you are being uncharitable, you are moreso demonstrating an erroneous view of history and a weak understanding of the power of God.

Henry VIII certainly removed the English Catholic Church from the Roman branch of the Church. However, he returned it to its prior affiliation with Orthodoxy that was the original affiliation of English Christianity....the Celtic Church of Patrick, Columba, Aiden.

Also, the power of God is not dependent on any king; it is first dependent upon the Holy Spirit who does work through any of his faithful ministers....of which there were many in Henry VIII's day.

Patrick, Columba, and Aiden would have done something Henry didn't, which is put himself under his patriarch, which in this case is the Pope.

The only bishop who was truly faithful to God, and not to man was one named John Fisher.

There is nothing "orthodox" about a murderous heretic who chops off the heads of his wives and founds a church because he couldn't get around the fact that Christ wouldn't allow him a divorce. The third person of the HolyTrinity doesn't work through such evil.

Sorry, you're wrong.
