Ah, you would claim that, but as we know, Henry VIII took over the Church and its property in 1533-1534 and was then excommunicated. England ceased being a Catholic nation at this point, and Henry definitely was not Catholic. He assumed the title Henry the Eighth, by the Grace of God, King of England and France, Defender of the Faith, Lord of Ireland and of the Church of England in Earth Supreme Head in 1535. Tudor had begun the break in 1530, after years of being rebuffed for his petition of divorce and annulment. Tyndale wrote a scathing publication in 1530 against the king's petitioning. It was at this point that Henry started to go after Tyndale. But Tyndale was seized in 1535, years after Tudor's break with Rome and was executed by the Belgian secular authorities at the behest of Tudor.
Not Catholic; actually Tyndale was upholding Catholic doctrine against the king in this instance.
Henry VIII always considered himself a devout Catholic. Any number of Protestant “heretics” were martyred during his reign, particularly while Thomas More was Lord Chancellor. Henry VII’s Lord Chancellor More zealously burned Protestants at the stake. His pursuit of Tyndale began in 1525. The dissolution of the Catholic monasteries, involving the confiscation of their properties and wealth, did not begin until the year Tyndale was killed in 1536. The Six Articles of 1539 reaffirmed many of the doctrines of the Catholic church, including transubstantiation, clerical celibacy, and oral confession. These articles also led to the persecution and killing of Protestants, due to Henry’s perceived need to prove that he was not a heretic. He thoroughly detested Lutherans and he never regarded himself as “Protestant” in his entire life.
