King Henry VIII? Did you get your history lessons from a Cracker Jack box or what?

Did I say King Henry the VIII???

Everyone knows the history of Tyndale and also know why he was hunted and ultimately killed by the RCC...

The Catholics didn't want the scriptures to be readable in the hands of the average people and they bristled at the idea that Tyndal was using the Majority Texts to translate from...He exposed the Catholic church for what it was...

Well, you seem to think so. But your historical account does not line up to the facts. King Henry VIII denounced Tyndale. A secular court had him executed.

In 1530, Tyndale wrote The Practyse of Prelates, opposing Henry VIII's divorce on the grounds that it was unscriptural and was a plot by Cardinal Wolsey to get Henry entangled in the papal courts. This resulted in the king's wrath being directed at him: he asked the emperor Charles V to have Tyndale apprehended and returned to England, where he was then tried and executed.

Evidently some do not know. Henry VIII, no friend of the Catholic Church, had Tyndale hunted down and killed by the Belgians for treason against him. No Catholic Church involvement here.

Perhaps the idea that Cracket Jack boxes were used to recreate history for certain Protestants has merit.
