23
May 1533 A.D. Date
of “Annulment” or “Divorce” of Henry VIII from Catherine of Aragon
23 May 1533 A.D. Henry VIII's Marital "Divorce" or
"Annulment"--depends on the point of view.
We'll treat the story when 9 August 1529 arrives.
Henry’s marriage Catherine: June 11, 1509. It lasted until May 23, 1533.
They were married (or living in historic fornication) 23 years, 11 months, 19
days
Annulled? We call it the “divorce
that never was.”
Ann Boleyn and others were adulteresses and Henry was a serial adulterer
with a hardened heart. Was he a
reprobate from eternity past? Rev. 22
emphatically disclaims a place to fornicators as does 1 Cor. 6.9. We’ll have to await the Final Judgment.
Switching the subject a bit.
Disagree with Henry VIII?
Poor
John Fisher, a virulent anti-Lutheran who did Henry's heavy academic lifting
against Lutheranism in England, but a very faithful subject to Henry
VIII..."off with his head." We still have yet to get a few books by
the old Anglo-Italian Cambridge don...John Fisher. Fisher hated Luther as did
Henry. Fisher lost his head. Catherine mercifully survived, but Ann
Boleyn..."off with her head too."
