- This is my first marriage to Catherine of Argon. She's Arthur's widow (my older dead brother)...But I'm finally king.

- GIVE ME A SON!!!
- The pope and King Henry VIII discussing divorce
- I am not allowing you to divorce her! That is against our laws.
- Let me divorce Catherine! She cannot give me an heir.
- The pope refusing my divorce triggered me to leave the Roman Catholic Church and to create my own religion, where I am the ruler.

- In 1517, a German man called Martin Luther was one of the first people to question the Catholic Church's intentions. He pinned a letter to a door explaining his reasons. His actions motivated King Henry to discover and create his own religion.

- Differences Catholics believe in marriage being a sacrament, while Anglicans believe marriage is a ‘sacramental rite’.Catholic priests aren’t allowed to marry, Anglican priests are allowed to marry and have children. Catholic church ordains only men as priests, where Anglican's ordain women as priests and bishops as well.
- Similarities Believing in the same God and that there is only one God. Recognising the 7 sacraments. Originating from the same ancient root. That Mary gave birth to Jesus as a virgin.
