In 1525 King Henry VIII petitioned the Pope to annul his marriage with Catherine of Aragon on the ground that his marriage was illegal on the first place (since Catherine was married to his brother Arthur at first)...
Clement VII refused the annulment because he didnot wanted to displease Charles V (Catherine was his aunt...)
Henry VIII broke away from Rome then and was excommunicated by the Pope...
WI Clement VII agreed to the annulment? Could England remained Catholic after 1533???
