Silly old bat
Are you sure about that?

Wasn't it more to do with fact that Henry couldn't get Rome to annul his marriage so the Church of England disassociated from papal rule and that left all the catholic monasteries and churches vulnerable to the will of Henry. Yes they were rich but wasn't that because people bequeathed monies to the church to help get them through the great gates? Not to do with the local church claiming to have a relic of christ .

Many places had bits of wood which was claimed to be part of the original cross, and could bring healing. Paying for penances which meant you could only be forgiven if you made a donation. That's why the Reformation took place, and when the Bible was starting to be translated into English from Greek (rather than Latin) and printing presses started, the ordinary people realised they were being robbed. It took place slowly, but Henry did order a copy of the Bible in English be sent to every church.
William Tyndale was burned at the stake, and our own Deryk Carver burned in Lewes in a tar barrel with his bible thrown in with him.

Luther was the start of the Reformation, and Henry used it to his advantage but it also helped to stop the corruption in the Roman churches.
