( )reform resulted from the Pope’s refusal to annul his marriage.
A、Edward V’s
B、Edward VI’s
C、Henry VII’s
D、Henry VIII’s
【正确答案】:D
【题目解析】:The reform began as a struggle for a divorce and ended in freedom from the Papacy. Henry VIII wanted to divorce Catherine of Aragon because she could not produce a male heir for him. But Pope Clement VII refused to annul his marriage to Catherine for he was living in fear of Charles of Spain, the Holy Roman Emperor, who happened to be Catherine's nephew. Henry's reform was to get rid of the English Church's connection with the Pope, and to make an independent Church of England.
