There is plenty of good reason to debate King Henry VIII’s theology. While he surely became “un-aligned” with the Church in Rome, the Church of England at that time was clearly no bastion of Protestantism. So the theology of Henry’s successor was very important when his young son Edward VI took the throne on January 28, 1547. Edward’s advisers made sure Protestants ruled the day until Edward died six years later and his half-sister Mary I made sure Catholicism was back in.
