Re: Good article

"Well it did in Europe. English Protestantism started because Henry VIII wanted to get he leg over Anne Boleyn."

It didn't actually; Henry VIII considered himself a Catholic and continued to call himself "Fidei defensor". In his view it was the Pope who was wrong.

The real split from Rome came later.
