Who broke england's ties to the catholic church?
The break with Rome not only gave Henry VIII power to administer the English Church, to tax it, appoint its officials, and control its laws. It also gave him control over the church's doctrine and ritual. Despite reading Protestant books, such as Simon Fish's "Supplication for the Beggars" and Tyndale's "The Obedience of a Christian Man", and seeking Protestant support for his annulment, Henry's religious views remained conservative. Nevertheless, to promote and defend the Royal Supremacy, he embraced the language of the continental Reformation all while maintaining a middle way between religious extremes. The King relied on men with Protestant sympathies, such as Thomas Cromwell and Thomas Cranmer, to carry out his religious programme.
