HIGHWAY 16 – THE ENGLISH CREATION OF THE ANGLICAN CHURCH
Henry VIII Temper Tantrum with the Vatican:
It started with Henry the VIII and his first bride Catherine of Aragon, the youngest daughter of the killing Royal duo of Spain, Isabelle and Fernando. Marriage was how Kingdoms not yet countries were put together, they combined land ruling privileges and then they had more territory for the new relationship to rule. The Kings were the leader of the teams and people rallied around the teams especially if Christ from above was on your side. Christ the creation of the Romans and called God for the most part, apparently talked only through the Bishops who voted for the Pope. People were told that Christ through his selected group of Bishops headed by the elected Pope amongst them, told the Kings and queens that it was ordained they should rule the lands and the people living on those lands. The people believed this nonsense because? Well, if they behaved they got their ticket to visit Christ in his Kingdom.
So England had a new King. His name was Henry and he was the eighth Henry as King of this land. The King needed to reproduce and have a son from this act of reproduction, not always love, so the Kingship would stay in the family line. So, it was time to find a good Catholic bride. Why not Spain, this was a good land grab for the King of England.
Here is where the story line gets complicated. Catherine was first married off to Henry’s older brother who was first in line to become the next King of England after the death of their father Henry VII. She was perfect for this breeding of future kings. Her mother the evil Queen Isabella of Castile had a very prominent English royal DNA background. This in the eyes of the English, the Spanish and the Pope was the perfect marriage to combine fortune and maintain fame.
But nature struck and the newly happily wed couple became a solo adventure again when Arthur, the elder brother, first in line, died. He died of some communicable current bacteria running through the people of that land. Catherine however survived the sweating sickness that was killing people in their English land region. Their marriage lasted for only half a year.
This potential marriage of Henry and Catherine would also correct the questions over the actual lineage to the throne of England, as it reconnected the family of the Tudor lineage. The Tudor line had a couple of illegitimate children who when legalized were unable to inherit, as their birth was double sin. They were the sin of the original sin of birth and the second sin of conceiving without the Church’s authorization by having a marriage in conformance with the Church’s rules and regulations. Now the legitimate side with family DNA was back in line with the authorized Christian side.
With Arthur the brother dead, a dowry still to be had for the marriage and a second son, now the first son in need of the proper wife to rule the land, Henry VII decides that Catherine would wait for Henry the son to come of age and then marry him. He was five years younger than she. They did get marry as planned, seven years after the marriage to Arthur. Henry was almost 18 and Catherine was 23. However, there was a problem with this marriage. According to cannon law, Catherine could not marry Henry as the Church’s law forbade men to marry their brother’s widow. As always, if the law on its face does not work, explain why it should not apply or just change it, especially if you have the power to make the change.
Catherine testified that she and her first husband did not consummate their marriage. No, in six months of living as husband and wife they did not make cardinal love. We should believe that story? But the story was not that important because two of the Pope’s favorite Kings were involved and the Pope did not have to abide by Cannon law when he so chose and so this matter was authorized by both Catherine’s lack of consummation story and by the rule of the Pope. There is a lesson here, a moral to the coming story. Law should apply equally to everyone or it is a bad law. This is what is wrong with society. We make laws that cannot be followed, as some believe the law wrong and/or do not apply it to themselves.
Anyone willing breaks a law because you feel the law is wrong, is the first step to living outside the law. The people who live under the law must change a bad law. It should not be broken. This is the real duty for the public officer of the court of law – a lawyer does not follow like a sheep wrong laws. A lawyer is charged to protect society as a whole from wrong law. This is the heart of all the brainwashing legal establishment’s production factories of clone schools and their wrong teachings, as they teach the students that what is must always remain the same. I disagree. I firmly believe that Wrong Law must not be followed but changed so the law is what guides the society of equals.
Respect for the law is paramount and in the case of the world today and in the laws of Pot prohibition you see hypocrisy of the rule and the order at work. People smoke pot and those same people make laws telling others they cannot smoke pot or risk going to jail. If you make the laws for others you must follow the laws so made. Respect for law & order is the required ingredient for future generations to live and grow in peace, but the law must be just and just means the people agree to be bound by it. Law too is subject to change and this is the golden rule of survival. Change. Accept it and grow with it. Change comes with knowledge. Do not prevent knowledge. If many disregard a law, then it should be deemed as no longer necessary.
So with the exception for the King and his new Queen to Church Cannon Law, Catherine and Henry become the King and Queen of England. She was an active Queen and in fact was at the head of the English cavalry when battle was fought between the English and the Scotts, as Henry was in France at war himself protecting the business of the Crown on the continent. Catherine had the trimmings of being a well-remembered Queen except for one major issue. That issue was a male issue to inherit the throne. Catherine had eggs and she could produce children but the male she did give birth to died shortly after birth.
Catherine did give birth to girls and this was a problem, a big problem for the royal line because they believed they couldn’t continue to rule the land and its people living in England without a male heir. As nature changes so man adapts to his own laws as we shall see.
The last time the English did not have a male heir and a woman inherited the throne, civil war broke out. This occurred when Henry I died in 1135 and was succeeded to the throne by his favorite nephew Stephan as opposed to the nearest bloodline survivor, his daughter Matilda. War was fought for 19 years or until 1154 when Stephan agreed that Matilda’s son, Henry Curtmantle would become the next king of England. This is what in fact did happen in 1154.
Interesting side note, man inherits the blood of man’s mother. Never does the father pass down blood. So the entire bloodline rule is bull. This contradiction was created by the Church who so hated the need to have anything to do with rules, order & control of women. Love cannot be controlled and love is what controls most young females minds. The Egyptians and their Pharaohs all had the same maternal bloodline, as the Pharaoh had to reproduce with a half sister or lose the next of kin successor, a true bloodline model. Jews inherited through their mother according to the Church and their killers, but Kings, Queens and good Christians inherited from Dad; the father that the Church left out of its story of Christ once upon a time Jesus.
Henry and Catherine survived for 26 years as a married couple. Then the mid-life crisis hit the King hard. He needed to have other women in his life and he justified this need as the need of a male heir. Catherine was outside the childbearing years. King met his next victim Anne Boleyn and wanted her to produce the next heir of England. Henry thought he could get his marriage annulled by the Pope because the rules did not apply to him.
Just a few years back, Catherine and her nephew Philip, the King of Spain convinced Henry to enter into an alliance with Philip and go against the French, the third favorite Kingdom of the Pope. He did this and England and France were now at war, I must add again. Believing in Christ sure did not give those peace who lived under the same house of God’s rules. So there were two of the Pope’s favorite rulers at war together against the third. This mess ended up with the French armies sacking Rome and the Emperor also the King of Spain, Philip himself coming to town to save the Papacy. The Pope owed the King of Spain also this Holy Roman Emperor for this protection.
The story is important to follow so you understand the predicament the Pope was placed when Henry asked for a divorce from his aging Wife, the aunt of the King of Spain. Philip had died and was succeeded by another nephew of Catherine. His name was known as was Charles V. He was both King of Spain and the elected Holy Roman Emperor. The Queen of England and the Emperor/King said no to this plan. The dye had been cast. Were the English and Spaniards going to united their Kingdoms as one or get divorced from each other and start a family feud that would last for years to see which family member was right and who was wrong? Also please do remember that the English Queen was the daughter of the greatest killers in the Church’s history, the killing duo Isabella and Fernando.
The Choice of the Pope: Annulment or Delay
The Pope had to choose. Where was Christ to give his VIP, the Pope advice? Should he have given in to Henry and let him have had his way or should he have honored the ruler of Spain and the memory of the Queen’s parents. It was a dilemma. The Pope wished to balance the powers of his authorized rulers, but this was not an easy thing to do and keep doing, especially since communication in writing became so available and people were learning how to read. It was no longer only the clergy who read the dogma and the Jew who read their Torah.
People read and people gossiped and this desire of Henry’s to divorce his faithful wife was appalling to most sensibilities of the people in rule at this time. Catherine even had the Queen of France, Henry’s sister Mary Tudor on her side. I hear your thoughts, yes, the King of England was now at war with his sister, a princess of England and the Queen of France.
Henry had one rule and one order, his order & rule. He was about to upset the Church’s entire order & rule of Europe with his next move. He wanted a divorce or annulment and he was going to get it no matter what Catholic society said.
Now here is where Katherine’s past comes back to haunt her. Henry went to the Pope and the Pope’s representatives but it was not granted. He was told to wait as the Pope was waiting for the sign from Sky God about what a good obedient Pope should do in this circumstance.
However, Henry got tired of waiting and brought his case before the English church for a ruling. At the same time he made peace with the French and secretly married Anne on his return trip home at the city of Dover. Henry became a bigamist; something only the Islamic could do and still maintain favor with their version of Sky God. Henry was to take his case directly to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Crammer, the old family chaplain of the Boleyn’s.
Henry decided this divorce would be granted, as he would show that Catherine lied and she had in fact consummated her marriage with Arthur prior to his death. If so, then Henry’s marriage to Catherine was null and void. The Archbishop decided in Henry’s favor and declared the marriage to Catherine illegal. Catherine was imprisoned, and she died slowly in this hell that her life had become.
Catherine did however give the world the coming Catholic Queen of England, Mary. This queen was not to last long for England was now creating its own version of the Roman Church where the Crown head of the land was the only representative who spoke for and with Christ now the overseer of the English way of life. A new chosen people of our Earth.
Hear this and understand it as I did not for many a year. The Church of England was not a Protestant reformed church but a church that followed the proscribed rules of the Catholics with one major difference. The Ruler was the King of now both the land and the air from above.
Henry VIII’s Marital Highways:
Let’s finish Henry’s insane legacy. Anne Boleyn gave birth to a female, Elizabeth, who when Mary was removed from her proper placement as Queen according to the rules and law of the land called England, became the ruling queen of the new order, the order that was no longer bound to the Pope. Her mother Queen Anne, Henry’s second wife, was tried, convicted and executed for treason, adultery and incest. In truth, she had a baby boy who died and Henry trumped up charges against her for this unforgivable occurrence.
Henry then married Jane Seymour then died giving birth to a son, Edward. Henry played politics with his two daughters. Mary and Elizabeth showed up at the ceremonies and took part in the coronation. Henry then moved on to other ladies to give the title to. But these first three queens are where England’s future order & rule was made.
In a political move, Henry took a fourth wife named Anne of Cleves. This marriage was made to get him some continental relief from him ignoring the system that created his faith. He went against the rules and order of his creation as King and if he could do so, so could others. Talk was coming of the need to invade England and bring back the proper order of the Catholic Church.
He made up with the French king and got a friendly divorce from number four and then proceeded to take a bride of 19 when he was 49. This marriage was not to be kept. At best Kathryn was a flirt, at worse an adulteress. Henry heard the rumors and had her executed on the Tower green and buried her near by the other executed queen Kathryn’s cousin, Anne Boleyn.
His last wife Katherine Parr outlived the King and was his widow. She too had scandal brought into the palace. Her scandal was reading the banned books of reform. She was learning about the reformation on the continent to the true Christian religion. The serious and absolute dedication needed to devote to the rule of Sky God. She was a forerunner for the English Puritans, which were starting to develop in the confused Kingdom of Catholic or Anglican Church rule.
Edward was nine when dad died and he became the King surrounded by advisors who would wait and teach and rule until he came of age.
England had a long history of separation from absolute Roman rule. In the Magna Carte of 1215, it was written that the English Church was independent of its government. The death and murder of Thomas Becket as he disagreed with the King and his decision to get a divorce, when the Pope was not ready to rule, helped push this separation out the window, as Henry took over the Church of England as we said earlier. He did this in 1535 when he dissolved the monasteries and abbeys of the Catholic Church and takes the property for the Crown of England.
The Old Archbishop Thomas Cranmer himself oversaw Edward the young king and became one of the leaders of the Church of England. Cranmer wished for England to join forces with the reform movement going down on the continent and tried to implement just such move in England, however he failed at this attempt.
Edward had a short life and now Mary the Catholic daughter of Catherine came back into play as the Queen of England. Edward left a will and said that his cousin Jane Gray would become the next ruler if he died without heir. She was a Protestant. He died and the country is ready for war. Edward hated the Catholic religion and so did not wish Mary to make any attempt to return the religion to the fold in Rome.
The country allowed Mary to get the throne, as tradition is more important than the order of new and a desire by those in the House of Lords to make peace with Rome. Mary reestablished the authenticity of her mom and dad’s marriage, which made her legitimate. She did not live long enough for the old order to become the only order, and Mary tried hard to have offspring, including a marriage to the Felipe, a cousin and a prince of Spain.
There was no child from this marriage but there was a war and the English lost the port of Calais to the French in this war. The Spanish and the Dutch had just become one nation through a royal marriage and this port was important to keep the Spanish of the North and the Southern land of Europe divided. But now the French were now in control of this important land position.
Before death Mary decided that Elizabeth would succeed her to the Crown and so she did. Elizabeth the new Queen of England was announced in 1558. The very next year, the country went away from the Catholic Church with rules and regulations made a new religious order called the Anglican Church from the Parliament of the land Lords themselves.
We forget how quickly change can come.
England Post Henry VIII:
The European continental world was in Chaos and looked for a new Christian order to be settled. The written word was now being spread by the use of the printing press and was able to open the closed minds of Man. People began to question the authority, truth and order they followed: who gained, and what was its long-term purpose?
England looked for order and quickly gave its people an order that prevented the Protestant Reformation from having gained a foothold on its lands. In England, 1559, Parliament passed two bills.
The first bill was the Act of Supremacy. This act confirmed Elizabeth as Supreme governor of England. The word governor was a compromise as the word “head” was not to be used in regards to a female. This bill required Bishops of the old order to take an oath to honor the new order. Those who refused the new oath were removed from the practice of talking to Christ for anyone but themselves in England.
The next bill was called the Act of Uniformity. This act forced the population to attend the Anglican Church on Sunday. It also produced a Book of Common Prayer, which the Protestant movement on the continent was against, as the Catholic Church had a common book and this was no longer a requirement to the new Protestant movements.
This is why England was not and is not a Protestant nation. At best, people can argue that it is a compromise between two competing thoughts of how to create and then control an order of Man. The book of prayers did continue the practices of the Catholic past.
The coming English Puritans were protestant, as they had no defined set of rules and were really like a jazz set of Christ. They improvised their ceremonies by the way the community needed to hear to know Christ was still on their side. These Puritans and the Anglicans with the remaining Catholics being killed by both sides were now set up for their coming English civil war over how the nation’s church should rule.
But leaving the jail and returning to a living heaven of your own highway is not an easy path to build. These old men called Bishops who have no families to tend to and believe their world is to control Christ chattel are vicious and like to kill to get even. They believe you stole their property. The future chattel of the living as well as the property that once housed their lifestyles of living high on man and man’s hog. No, the Catholic Church was not going to allow one of their favorite nations to escape the fold.
Here is what the boys of the Vatican put into play:
The Church’s Attempt to Turn Back Time:
The Church instigated and got the Spanish to try and attack England to recapture the flag and reinstitute proper Church order and rule. England was now a reorganized but not reformed Catholic country and it was a renegade. The Church and their puppets, the Spanish wanted England to be returned to the old order, or else more people would try for a new order and the illusory control of the Roman Catholic Church in European affairs could become extinct. This included the whole premise of the Kingdom of Spain.
Philip (Felipe) the King of Spain was married to Mary, the dead Queen of England who had returned the nation to the Roman Catholic fold. Her successor, Elizabeth, had made the switch back to the Anglican Church, so Philip had a score to be settled. He believed this because he was told Elizabeth promised Mary that she would leave the country to be Roman Catholic with the Pope at the head of the pyramid to Sky God.
This breech of a promise of one queen to the other infuriated Philip, the king of Spain.
So Philip decided to attack the English by ship and built his fleet in Cadiz, Spain. England used pirates carrying the signs of the old Templar Knights with their skulls and bones as the symbols on the flag. England’s favorite son and Caribbean Pirate, Sir Francis Drake, attacked the building of the ships in Cadiz and therefore let the Spaniards know they were in for a fight.
Queen Elizabeth and her Gangster Pirate: Sir Francis Drake
A few words are needed here on this English hero and his family – this hero called Drake who became a Sir of the land. This man was nothing but a thief and a killer to the ruling order of the Church as well as to any visitor witnessing Man’s history. But to the English he was a Sir, which is equal to a living saint.
Queen Elizabeth actually funded Drake, Sir Drake that is. She gave him the funds to sail the seas and steal from the Catholic Spanish nation when they were on their way to and from the ports of their trade. He was the best of his time, it has been said. He attacked all ships that had flags showing allegiance to the Church.
The Queen also funded Drake’s uncle John Hawkins, he too was knighted. The Uncle was maybe the first English slave trader. He got blacks from their African families in trade, not war in what is now Sierra Leone. He then imprisoned them in his three ships bought with funds from the Queen of England, traveled the seas with the livestock and sold them in Santo Domingo.
He sold the stock for goods that once brought back to England could be sold for a big profit. There was no worry about a safe voyage from pirate attack on the open seas as the Uncle was well protected by his sea flying flag, as well as his nephew was on the same seas giving protection to his teammates.
This started the slave trade in England and that trade is what most old blue blood English family fortunes used to create their initial wealth.
The Spanish were still in favor with the Pope but needed to help protect the order of their Church. This ship of exclusive control was leaking and needed to be plugged. So Philip volunteered to fix the English ship of thoughts. He conquered the isles of England with the God of the Catholic Church backing his play and returned the world to its old order.
Now, it is important to remember that Philip by marriage (as he did remarry after Mary the Queen of England died) acquired the Netherlands for Spanish rule. The Netherlands was engaged in a conflict between Protestants and Catholics. King Philip just figured it would be good to get them in the Netherlands involved in the holy war against England on behalf of the Church, and then maybe everyone could be restored to order at the same time. Plus, the winning profit from this war would attract the Sadducees order living and growing in the Netherlands.
In the Spanish eyes, the English had been helping the heretics fight the Spanish Catholic rule in the Netherlands and of course, this upset Philip. So the day came and the Spanish set out to sea to invade England. They made their way up the coast with the two hundred plus ships, they crossed the English Channel to pick up warriors in the Netherlands to join their forces, they passed by Plymouth and let the English see the size of the navy that will attack them.
It was here, as the ships were docked outside Calais that the battle strategy of Drake and others under Drake’s orders was implemented. They set fire to some ships at night and sent those ships to the Spanish Armanda, whose ships were fully loaded with gun power and subject to burn and explode when these firing bomb ships collided.
The brave Spanish sailors and soldiers fled as most cowards do for man is for the most part a coward, or else why submit to God’s gangster rule? The ships fled up the eastern seaboard of England and around the north of Scotland. Then they came ashore on land in the south of Ireland, which was a Catholic nation. However this nation was not in cahoots with the Pope on this Spanish mission of fame and glory and they wished the navy to put their oars back in the sea and flee at once.
The fighting broke out again and the Spanish were driven off the land and back to the sea. The Spaniards were humiliated and the British were victorious and they were on their way to become the masters of the high seas and the masters of the coming order of consumerism.
If the English had lost we all might be speaking Spanish everywhere right now. Not waiting for the deluge of the Spanish-speaking people of the current Catholic Church to overflow borders and take control of the lands and bring the Church and the Pope and his Bishops back to power. That is the Churches plan and why they take their stand against birth prevention and abortion. The poor will reproduce, the rich will not as it costs money to maintain the Sadducee lifestyle of today. The more kids you have, the less you get to spend on yourselves. The more you sit and pray for your future Shangri-La.
