Subject: Luther Year 2017: Luther & Henry VIII

The Heated Debate Between King Henrvy VIII of England and Church Reformer Martin Luther

Many years before the Tudor king Henry VIII broke with Rome, he was a pious Catholic, ready to defend the "holy mother" of the Roman Church, especially against the offences of the heretical monk Martin Luther and his impudent writings. The representatives of the Old and the New Faith and many famous intellectuals of the age were soon involved in the quarrel that went on for years. Join us for some insights into this fiery debate that eventually ignited an entire continent.
