  Henry VIII's Succession Crisis | Why England Left the Catholic Church (Part 2) 29.06.2026 16мин

  In Part 2 of this series, we continue exploring the events that led England away from the Catholic Church. This episode focuses on King Henry VIII's succession crisis, why having a male heir became so important, and how political ambition, marriage, and questions of authority reshaped English history. As a new Catholic convert and former Anglican, I'm not approaching this as a historian with all the answers. I'm following the evidence, asking honest questions, and learning as I go. My hope is to better understand both the history and the faith that emerged from it. Whether you're Catholic, Anglican, Protestant, or simply curious about church history, I hope you'll join me on the journey. History through a Catholic lens. Faith with honest questions. A new Catholic convert in search of truth.

  Why did England leave the Catholic Church? Most people know the short answer: Henry VIII wanted a divorce. But the story is much bigger than that. In this episode of Baby Catholic, I explore the events that led to England's break from Rome, the creation of the Church of England, and why Anglicanism still feels so Catholic in many ways. We cover: • Henry VIII and his marriage to Catherine of Aragon • Why the Pope refused the annulment • The Act of Supremacy • Henry's six wives • Whether Henry was actually Protestant • The Dissolution of the Monasteries • St. Thomas More and his stand against the king This is Part 1 of a two-part series on the English Reformation. In the next episode, we'll look at how Henry's children reshaped Christianity in England and why the religious turmoil was only beginning.
