Defense of the Seven Sacraments
(by HENRY VIII, 1521) "I hope I have made clear how rashly [Luther] calumniates (making false and defamatory statements) the Church, and how impertinent, how impious, and how absurd he is against the holy Fathers; against Scriptures; against the public faith of the Church; against the consent of so many ages and people; even against common sense itself.“ This led to a grateful Pope granting Henry the titles DEFENDER OF THE FAITH Summarize how Henry feels about Luther in a few words Why will the Pope appreciate this sort of decisive support from a King?
12
HOW DO YOU THINK HENRY VIII FELT ABOUT THIS TITLE FROM THE POPE?
HOW DOES THIS ACOLADE FROM THE POPE FIT RIGHT INTO HENRY’S PERSONALITY?
13
THINGS WILL SOON CHANGE
(Henry will come to regret those words) AS HENRY AND HIS WIFE, CATHERINE GROW OLDER, WHAT WILL BECOME HIS CONCERN… THEN AN OBSESSION…?
14
Second half of monarchy
Henry was still “a catch.” But, as Catherine grew old, and her body became exhausted with failed pregnancies… Henry VIII became obsessed with having sons “The King’s Great Matter” ( ) Married 14 years to Catherine (9 yrs. Betrothed) Had a cute relationship – romantic He did have affairs Mary Bollen (sister to Anne Boleyn) Bessy Blount – had a son (Henry Fitzroy) 3m
