They’re special alright. Adulterers now in charge of defending the faith.


The title Defender of the Faith was bestowed by the Pope on Henry VIII because the latter wrote an essay denouncing Luther. This was, of course, before Henry took England out the Catholic church but Henry and his heirs have kept the title.

So the founder of the Anglican faith was an adulterer, at least in the eyes of the Catholic church.

Or at best a serial monogamist.
