“Yes - it was a civil war - but the Loyal Catholics did not start it. They merely fought to keep what they had always had, the ability to worship and receive the sacraments.”
Again, you are resurrecting old tribal feuds, and from a time when Rome was a political and religious center and all the intrigue that surrounds that sort of power.
That’s the first issue you should deal with. The Catholic church of Henry VIII’s day is different today.
They wanted England overrun. Henry responded by destroying his enemies institutions and taking his assets. Meeting every standard of plunder and pillage of the day.
What you seem to be angling for is renewal of religious disputes that simply do not exist anymore. The Rome of Henry’s day doesn’t exist anymore. The concept of an independent nation-state is not in dispute.
“They wanted England overrun.”
Newflash, England was Catholic prior to the reformation. How can you overrun your own home?
You see that whole Cathedral of Canterbury? We built that. St. Patrick? Catholic. St. Bede the venerable? Catholic. St. Augustine? Catholic. St. George? Catholic. St. David? Catholic.
The list goes on. I could continue but I hope the point has been made.
