Detailed explanation-1: -One thing that was similar, was that they both published some sort of scripture that contained their beliefs, giving the Pope and the Church what they thought. Luther published his 95 Theses and King Henry VII with his Act of Supremacy.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1517 Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the door of the Castle Church at Wittenberg and, in 1533, an amorous Henry VIII gave his assent to the Act of Restraint of Appeals, thus making a constitutional break with Rome and beginning the English Reformation.
Detailed explanation-3: -However, Henry formally broke with the Pope and the Roman Church after Pope Clement VII refused to grant him an annulment of his marriage to Katherine of Aragon so that he could wed Anne. His appeal for an annulment was on the grounds that their union contravened the scriptures, citing Leviticus 20.
Detailed explanation-4: -On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther posted his Ninety-five Theses against papal indulgences, or the atonement of sins through monetary payment, on the door of the church at Wittenberg, Germany.
Detailed explanation-5: -Most people familiar with Tudor history are aware that Henry VIII of England published in 1521 a tract defending the seven sacraments, which was a response to Martin Luther’s ideas being spread on the Continent. As a result, Pope Leo X awarded Henry the title of, “Fidei Defensor, ‘’ Defender of the Faith.
