Henry VIII's Succession Crisis | Why England Left the Catholic Church (Part 2)

Episode Summary

In Part 2 of this series, we continue exploring the events that led England away from the Catholic Church. This episode focuses on King Henry VIII's succession crisis, why having a male heir became so important, and how political ambition, marriage, and questions of authority reshaped English history. As a new Catholic convert and former Anglican, I'm not approaching this as a historian with all the answers. I'm following the evidence, asking honest questions, and learning as I go. My hope is to better understand both the history and the faith that emerged from it. Whether you're Catholic, Anglican, Protestant, or simply curious about church history, I hope you'll join me on the journey. History through a Catholic lens. Faith with honest questions. A new Catholic convert in search of truth.
