Ecumenical Ping!

The Anglicans split from Rome more than four centuries ago when King Henry VIII bolted in 1534 over the pope's refusal to grant him an annulment. Catholics and Anglicans have been engaged in talks to overcome theological divisions for 35 years.

This is wrong. After Henry, his daughter Mary assumed the throne, and she returned the Catholic church to its former position. After her death, it was Elizabeth I who actually led England out of Catholicism and smack into the Reformation for good.
