“And that idea of King Henry the VIII (who just wanted to validate serial polygamy) is based on pure evil (Satanism).”

Please. The Catholic Church had a political beef with Henry VIII, not a religious one. They routinely sanctioned serial polygamy for monarchs (maybe not always to the level of Henry, but that’s splitting hairs).

They wanted to deny him a legitimate heir as much as he wanted one.

The Catholic Church did not deny Henry sanctioned serial polygamy out of any moral principle. That wasn’t how the world, or the Catholic Church worked at the time.

OB pinged because he made a similar assertion above.

Wondering if either of you can provide some specific examples.
