Despite breaking from Rome to marry his second wife, Anne Boleyn, in 1533, Henry still
seems to have upheld many of his Catholic beliefs until his death in 1547, therefore making
this statement valid. This is illustrated by the fluctuating position of his doctrines and actions.
For example, the Act of Six Articles, passed in 1539, temporarily brought an end to the
process of introducing Protestant beliefs and reinstated many significantly Catholic ones:
Eucharist, transubstantiation, priestly celibacy, Holy Communion and the seven sacraments
(Baptism, confirmation, confession, marriage, holy orders, anointing of the sick and
Penance). However, The Great Bible, the first English translation of the original Latin Bible,
was also authorised by Henry in 1539. This showed Henry on the cover, passing on the word
of God to the people and its usage was enforced in all parishes in the injunctions. This
suggests that Henry, perhaps, upheld his original Catholic beliefs but wanted to appear
omnipotent to establish the authority of the newfound Church of England, he may have even
begun to feel guilty for breaking with Rome and the swing back to Catholicism was in an
attempt to gain forgiveness in the eyes of God.
