B. An English priest and one of his churchgoers
C. An English monarch and the Catholic Pope
D. An English monarch and a German monarch

Answer 1

Answer:

C. An English monarch and the Catholic Pope

Explanation:

Henry VIII wanted his marriaged to be nullified. Since the Pope at that time, Clement VII, refused to his petition, the English ruler decided to separate from Rome. When this took place, Henry became head of the Anglican church as a supreme leader. The Anglican Church became quite independent. The latter caused significant political and teological changes.

For example: the doctrine became to change and the laws regarding ecclesiastical matters became under Henry, also taxes were no longer to the Pope, and the appointment of bishops was no longer his business.
