What about Mrs and Mr Right those days “land belonged to kings and noble men”?
(is it the same today?)
Let's say something “good” happened when certain king wanted to divorce and the Roman Holy Church said “No”. We naively can say “yes” to anything that can give us a 2nd chance to find out Mrs or Mr Right.
Was that king really interested in finding his Mrs Right? If so, why not trying FRIENDSHIP first and a long-term DATING, before being married?
In Colombia, you cannot be divorced to re-marry in a Catholic church. Legally you can divorce, but you cannot attend your church wedding twice, unless one of the spouse die... Who wants a widow? If divorce or separation hurts, what about that loss?
History is partial and defective to be complete. I could say it because there were more than spiritual reasons for the “Restoration Movement”. Beneath all those superficial waves, there was a powerful economic reason; because Roman Church owned too much land and power in Europe, and it was receiving a big deal on tithing each year; so England needed to get rid of its transnational economic influence. Such that “religious” change (and the rising of a new secular state control) gave England political cohesion and many Catholic believers were won as “Protestants” by the Anglican church; while Rome became weak during the slow process that also influenced other countries in Europe (i.e.: Germany, France...)
Kings in Europe were landowners and the Roman Church had its share as landlord. Some kingdoms were not strong enough; so portions were sold or handed over as pieces of land to some noble men who became crusade champions and free lancers, but time proved them to be rivals (The Reformation Movement has an economic background we're not clearly told as a reason, same way Crusaders wanted to get land outside their own countries to have more economic power: The land was a means of production) and more land everywhere served to get food, new trades, while poor were enslaved to work for landowners... Isn't it easy to remember why the whole America was conquered?
