Yeah, Thomas Cranmer was a great guy who thought the pope was the anti-Christ and helped Henry VIII unlawfully divorce his wife.
Great guy.
If I ever want to get rid of my old wife and replace her with a younger, hotter, and more charming wife... I should pray to Saint Thomas Cranmer, patron saint of unhappy husbands.

That was uncharitable. Many Protestants of that day believed the institution of the papacy -- not the Pope, as you incorrectly note -- was the Antichrist. Luther believed so. Cranmer's greater contribution was the Book of Common Prayer, which has enlightened our minds and spirits ever since.
