INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that Henry VIII became a Protestant after breaking with the Catholic Church?
Unclear. Several scholarly sources confirm Henry VIII broke with the Roman Catholic Church and established the Church of England, but they describe this as a schism driven by his divorce and note the church retained Catholic doctrine and sacraments; they do not show Henry himself became a Protestant.
