Question 13 (2 points)
What motivated King Henry VIII to separate the Church of England (also called the
Anglican Church) from the Roman Catholic Church?
theological: He agreed with Martin Luther that the Roman Catholic Church was
wrong
political: he wanted to declare war on Spain, but the Pope had forbidden fighting
between two Roman Catholic nations
personal: when the Pope declared him to be "The Defender of the Faith," he got
ambitious and thought that he should start his own church
political: to get a son, he wanted a divorce (or annulment), but the Pope would
not grant him one, so he started his own church
