Theo Obson sobre Henrique VIII: "never has tyranny had such good long-term consequences. By removing papal authority, and yet refusing to import the systematic Protestantism of the reformers, he enabled a uniquely gradual religious revolution, which inhaled the air of humanism more deeply than any other. A nationalised Church, which floated free of any foreign theological orthodoxy, was just the right soil for a new sort of liberal Protestant culture, that slowly but surely emerged over the following centuries."
