Church leaving Episcopal Diocese

I always think it very sad that this same Henry was given the title by Rome "Defender of the Faith" after he wrote a wee book defending the Faith against Martin Luther. The authority Henry used as far as I know was that he was King and those who opposed him got the quickish trip to the axeman. Which is why Bishop Fisher and Sir Thomas More have been named saints....because of their martyrdom for the Faith. The other clergy were intimidated into knuckling under their secular leader.
