The Aftermath – Joanna Bogle

What happened in England after Henry VIII declared himself to be the head of the Church there, declaring a schism with Rome?  What effect did that have on Catholics loyal to the Papacy still living in England?  What happened to priests, monks, and nuns, whose way of life became instantly illegal?  What would this new Church of England look like?  The always delightful Joanna Bogle of EWTN looks at one of the most chaotic periods of English history, and the role religion played in it.
