The English Reformation (Henry VIII and the Church of England)

www.tomrichey.net
When the Protestant Reformation began, Henry VIII opposed Martin Luther and sided with the Catholic Church. This changed when his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, did not provide him with a live son to inherit his kingdom. Henry VIII asked the Pope for an annulment (since the Catholic Church does not recognize divorce, per se) and decided to leave the Catholic Church when his request was rejected. Parliament passed the Act of Supremacy in 1534, which declared Henry to be the "Supreme Head" of the Church of England.
As Supreme Head of the Church of England, Henry dissolved the monasteries and sold Church lands to generate revenue. He also divorced Catherine and married Ann Boleyn. As far as doctrine, however, Henry did very little, making his Reformation the most conservative of the Reformation movements.
I will be posting Part 2 of this lecture soon, in which I will address the progress of the Reformation during reigns of Henry's children.

@Опанак У Свемиру why should we go back to Satanic CATHOLICISM?

[@1arritechno]

If not Henry VIII , it would have happened later... The British Empire was coming & it lasted for 200 years ; there was no way Rome was going to maintain "political leverage" over such a global power.

[@4YouUglies]

Thank you so much!! I used this and part 2 to help me significantly on understanding for my 5 page essay on King Henry VIII and my presentation. I wouldn't have been able to do it without you and I really enjoyed your commentary and your humor.

[@tomrichey]

+4YouUglies Glad I could help! Best of luck on your presentation.

[@ghostreconphils]

It was only Under Elizabeth I that Englo became fully Protestant. Henry VIII's new "church" was basically Catholicism without recognition of the Pope as leader

It's a shame that it didn't go the way of secularism, we'd be in a much better position by now if it had.

[@Chupa_hunt]

that right

[@primeparadox9796]

This is the most useful video on Henry VIII I've ever seen. And I've seen a few. Just the right level of details!

[@emilystewart1153]

Thank you so much Tom Richey! Out of all my years of high school I finally have someone who is explaining hiatorical characters so well. I am really enjoying your videos. They make history come alive!

[@tomrichey]

Thanks for the kind words! :D Glad to hear my videos are helping you.

[@ethandrost9929]

Thanks so much you are much more helpful than my teacher or textbook!

[@miguelespenaes]

I ended up here because of my literature studies, and i loved your rock intro

[@vitorsilveirafigueiredo4306]

God bless u tom richey. U are the reason Im passing my AP Euro exam

[@nickodell4723]

Thank you so much for this video. I have sat in my humanities class during the English Reformation lectures for the past 3 weeks not understanding the order and cause of things. Now I have a much better idea of what's going on.

[@tomrichey]

Glad to hear it! Hopefully, I'll be able to continue to help you as you progress through the rest of the course.

[@nickodell4723]

+Tom Richey you already have. Subbed :)

[@gabyluna6217]

Oh my gosh you broke this topic down so well thank you so much! It makes so much more sense now! :)

[@toxicbutterflies1]

Love your videos, This one is helping me with my dissertation and I am loving it! You make History come alive!

[@juliaskamarycz360]

After learning this lesson in class, this video helped me further comprehend what occurred during the English Reformation specifically the many figures who played into this event. Henry VII had a lot of wives and this video explained each of his relationships very clearly! Also, I was able to further understand what led Henry VII to go against the rules of the Church of England.

[@squirrel2675]

Thanks! Also, because of COVID19 we are doing this online. And one of the questions were about Martin Luther and they saw someone wrote about Martin Luther King 💀💀

Thanks Tom, this has helped me with my work :) On a side point I was smiling when I realised you sound like Loyd Grossman.

[@tomrichey]

Not familiar with him... Sounds like I need to check him out. Glad my videos are helping you!

[@renatosopta3265]

These videos helped me greatly for my paper. Since I used some of your material, I was wondering if I could cite you in my references. If so, could you be so kind to let me know how to do it properly. Thank you!

[@Lamideth]

Thank you very much for helping me understand the English reformation! You explain it so well! I'm French and I'm doing English studies, unfortunately it covers so many subjects that we don't have enough time to ask for more information. I'm really interested in the big religious shifts between catholicism and protestantism in the United Kingdom, the role of Henry VIII, the Stuarts, and also the birth of puritanism. I'm going to devour your channel.

Henry - No Church In The Wild

[@trishlove8509]

This is such a good video, I would love to use this as a source in my essay but unfortunately I cannot use videos. Do you have an essays that you have written? Or perhaps notes of the sources you used? I really want to further investigate the idea of how his motives were not religious (since my essay is aimed to suggest that Henry VIII was Catholic despite everything). Thank you in advance!

[@deathoftheauthor]

Finally I get the context of where the landed gentry fits in, thanks!

[@glizzygoober3722]

Thank you this helped me on my final so much

[@johnbrereton5229]

The English Reformation didn't start with King Henry VIII in 1532, it started much earlier with Oxford Theologian John Wycliffe 1320-1384, known as: The Morning Star of the Reformation'. Wyclife called the Pope, 'The Antichrist', and in 1380 he translated the bible into English for the first time. The Pope was furious at this defiance and demanded Wycliffes excommunication. Wycliffes followers were know as Llollards, and in 1395 presented his 12 conclusions to Parliament and nailed them to the door of Westminster abbey and St Paul's cathedral. When Wycliffe died, the Pope ordered that his body was dug up and his skeleton smashed into pieces and scattered in the river. However, many Royals had copies of Wycliffes bible, including King Richard the III and even Anne Boleyn who brought it to the attention of Henry VIII. Henry was particularly impressed by Wycliffes assertion that a King was ordained by God, not the Pope and therefore was above the jurisdiction of any Pope, the antichrist ! So Henry replaced the Pope as the head of the English church with himself. This was of course a convenient move for Henry, allowing him the power to decree his former marriage as void, allowing him to marry Anne Boleyn.

[@onmydoorstep9421]

Yes that's correct, I regularly frequent an Anglican Church Of England Church in England and we recite The Nicene Creed every week 'we are part of one Catholic and Apostolic Church', we also have a huge Crucifix with Jesus on it inside the Church and we also have Iconic art work,Catholic/Orthodox style, all a far cry from a Protestant Church, such as Methodist and Wesleyan.

[@mattandjackwonderpotion]

I am just going to ride along and listen in on this one Mr. Richey- I was being bad in school during these studies and I don't have anything. Figure I would be better served paying attention this time around. Much obliged for the learn on.

[@tomrichey]

***** You nearly disappoint me! It cracked me up how you were able to rile everyone up on my Calvinism video! LOL

Tom Richey unfortunately religious people tend to not be willing to refrain from special pleading- I will not entertain intellectual dishonesty.

He was still an Anglo catholic,he even turned the clock back in 1540 by having his parliament pass the act of six articles which was back to square one except that he was the head of the church and not the pope.

I want to know why Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley and Thomas Cranmer supported the annulment of King Henry and catherine of Aragon.? Why Cranmer wrote a theological defence in favour of the king's divorce? They are called oxford Martyrs and an epitome of english reformation etc etc... But why they did with a lady who already lost his husband Arthur, and just because of giving birth a baby girl, they supported the king... I just want to know from past 1 week...why? Why? Why?
