History: Henry the 8th and the reformation operation in the transfer of wealth
The Roman catholic church had become too rich in land assets, politically powerful and was corrupted, according to Luther in the 16th century.
Where the holy matrimonial of marriage was not allowed for priests.
The reformation broke out in Germany with a lot of victims, in the name of the same god?
In certain German lands the Protestants took hold.
The deal in these new Protestants lands between Luther and the nobility was:
You get your Protestant state religion in our lands and we get the lands and assets of the Catholic Church within our reach.
The biggest thieved-om in that century, which changed the balance between nobility and religion.
Henry the 8th had his own (divorce) problems with the pope in Rome plus was in debt trough his extravagant life-style.
He saw the transfer of wealth on the continent trough the reformation in the Protestant areas for the local nobility.
So he created his own church with him at the head, killing two birds with one stone.
In the process robbing the Catholic Church from its lands and assets, with the help of some nobility in a few days.
The people that worked and lived of that Catholic Church land for centuries were kicked off, to make place for sheep.
English wool was in high demand on the continent in those days.
Creating the base for capitalism and the proletariat in England.
The decedents of nobility that executed this operation, we call the house of lords establishment today, with the highest regard as the essence of being English.
And Henry.....he was in debt again after war and life-style expenses, centuries of labor just vanished.
