"Henry VIII's dispute with the Vatican over his marriage to Catherine of Aragon provided an opportunity for the reform movement to develop and emerge out into the open."

Wasn't Catherine a relative of the King of France? If Henry VIII had a heir by her wasn't he concerned about the independent sovereignty of England.

BTW, I understand your feelings about the Episcopal Church today. I was raised an Episcopalian, but as I read SCRIPTURE and entered into a personal relationship with JESUS CHRIST I choose to become a Baptist.

The answer is no to both parts of your question.

I'm fairly certain that Catherine was the daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain. If I'm wrong someone will correct me. I believe the only heir by this wife was Mary,
who became queen.

We have worshiping with us a former Episcopalian who left his church over the gay bishop. Btw, one of my sons is a Baptist.
