How would a break from the church affect the marriages of the Hapsburgs?You probably want Philip II to become disillusioned with Pope in Rome. If the Pope denies him or angers him enough, he could declare the Pope in Rome as a heretic, or a puppet of one of his rivals, and then declares a New Catholic Church/Sect in Spain, declaring the “true form of Catholicism”. I don’t think it be like English Anglicism, it’d be the same Catholic doctrines, but just doesn’t follow the Pope in Rome.

Well, it seems that Phillip considered himself a better Catholic than the Pope and probably was in a direct communication with the Deity so he would not consider himself really breaking with the Church, just showing the Church right way to go. So he would remain One and Only Catholic King and the Pope would become a schismatic or even a heretic. 😜Vive el revolucion. When your titles includes "the catholic monarch" and you're fighting the 80 years war effectively for religious reasons, you don't get to be protestant
