This podcast traces the origins and development of the Church of England during the English Reformation, emphasizing that England’s break with Rome was driven primarily by political and dynastic concerns rather than theological reform. It explains how King Henry VIII’s desire for an annulment from Catherine of Aragon, his marriage to Anne Boleyn, and the need for a male heir led to the Act of Supremacy (1534), making the English monarch the head of the Church of England while largely retaining Roman Catholic doctrine.
