Problem is that Henry should have gotten the annulment he requested as church law was solidly on his side.

It was, by church law, no true marriage as he was pressured into marrying his sister in law when he was 11.

He rejected the marriage when he was 14 and only gave in when pressured into it by his father's dying wish.

Any one of these items would have been grounds for annulment.

You’re an idiot if you believe the Church of England is Catholic.

But dare one there was politics?
