Lewis locates Henry VIII in hell. If many Anglicans today admit that Henry was a monster, there was palpable joy throughout the realm when, in 1509, at the age of 18, he ascended the throne. Henry, as the offspring of the union of the once-warring houses of Lancaster and York, represented the promise of true peace. 'A young man who is the everlasting glory of our time,' one young poet called him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe poet's name was Thomas More, who, 16 years later, at the peak of the friendship between More and Henry, told his son-in-law, William Roper, 'If my head would win the king one castle in France it would not fail to go!' Ten years later, More's head fell, though no castle was won. What brought the poet to the scaffold? What tore England from Catholic Europe? A woman. Lady Anne Boleyn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet even today, Anglican apologists for Henry's cruel treatment of his wife, Catherine of Aragon, argue that the king's motives, while perhaps not admirable, were merely political: the stability of the Tudor line and of the whole realm demanded a male heir.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis lecture exposes that dishonest defense, lays bare Henry's true motives in divorcing Catherine, identifies the sinister operators behind the scenes, unwinds the convoluted legal arguments Henry attempted to justify his actions, and names the painful and widespread effects of the divorce we feel yet today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHenry VIII's divorce is among mankind's most consequential tragedies.\u003cbr\u003eFor CD Player\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Angelus Press \/ Christopher Check","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":49415340425494,"sku":"107765","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/2024102517206268.jpg?v=1731300485","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/henry-viii-and-the-anglican-schism","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
