"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.

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.
