Henry VIII thought of the idea to challenge the church from Martin Luther. Henry VIII used this Thesis to his advantage and stopped the Catholic Church from not hurting him, but from hurting his beloved
Henry VIII began his reign as a loyal Catholic, accepting the Pope as head of the Church. The Pope even gave Henry the title, ‘Defender of the Faith’. This was a reward for writing a book that defended the Pope against criticism from a German reformer called Martin Luther. However, things did not stay the same - Henry VIII and the Pope had a quarrel. It was over Henry’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon.
Charlemagne or Charles the great, Carolingian monarch. He was a very strong element in unifying Western Europe through the blessing of the church. Charlemagne Grandfather had partnership with the church during his period of time; he was the one who started the process to bring Western Europe together, in the belief that everyone should be Christian. Charlemagne father, Pepin the short contiutued this process thought the Western Europe and passed his beliefs on to Charlemagne. All three Carolingian monarchs wanted the church to reform, wanted to reorganize the church under the pope; all this would help raise their power as the Carolingian dynasty.
The idea shown in source 7 of Henry not being able to fully separate himself from his catholic beliefs is further back up by the evidence found in source 8. Although we have to be aware of the fact that source 8 was written by Bishop Tunstall to Reginald Pole in 1536, which means that it may be slightly biased towards Catholicism. The source states that Henry wishes to remain a part of the “unity of Christ’s Catholic Church”. Which tells us that Protestantism is not making enough progress in England as to convince the King, yet it is still making gains. Also in the source, Henry’s title of “Supreme Head” is mentioned.

He supported the Church, giving at his own expense as well as that of the state to support the Church and fighting to protect the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church's property. On Christmas Day in 800, the Pope crowned Charlemagne "Emperor and Augustus." This could have created problems, since the emperor of the Byzantine Empire already owned this title, but Charlemagne quickly sent gifts to him, to satisfy him. Charlemagne claimed that he had not known of what the Pope intended to do and would have prevented the coronation if he had the chance. However, this action created the Holy Roman Empire, and through it, Charlemagne supposedly had the blessing of
The pews did not face the alter but the king himself. He saw religion as an opportunity to show his dominance and prestige. He did not want the pope interfering with the way the French church was ran. In 1685 convinced by his secret new wife the anti-protestant young lady King Louis revoked the 1598 Edict of Nantes; a document promoting civil unity within the catholic church. This allowed French Protestants freedom of worship.
I was working on bringing you over to the conspirator’s side. I was manipulating you so I can get my way. I was the one sending forged letters supposedly from the Roman public saying they don’t want Caesar as king to you. I did this because I knew you wouldn’t have help me killed Caesar unless you thought Rome didn’t want him to be king.

There hadn’t ever been any big dispute between religion and evolution before, so it was confusing why the Pope commented on evolution, making it news that he agreed with it. Gould stated that having newspapers respond to the Pope’s work called, “Truth Cannot Contradict Truth” and making it front page news at that, showed a sense of misunderstanding for the concepts all together. The Pope wasn’t trying to go against his own Catholic beliefs, but simply suggest that religion is not threatened by science. This could be the reason why the statement was made. Religion and the stories within the bible, if thought true by a person, would definitely conflict with ideas of how the world
In Article 10, it states, “No one shall be disquieted on account of his opinions, including his religious views, provided their manifestation does not disturb the public order established by law.” However, Martin Luther and John Wycliffe were excommunicated for their religious views. Martin Luther and John Wycliffe questioned the Catholic churches beliefs such as people paying for their pentanence and whether people must communicate with God through priest. Martin Luther raised a question that why the church services was written in Latin only. Latin was a language studied by the upper class only and lower class people did not understand Latin that forced them to listen to the pope. Martin Luther in On Christian Freedom wrote, “For Holy Scripture makes no distinction between them, except that those who are now boastfully called popes, bishops, and lords….” He said that Pope or bishop are no different than other people.
