as well as our religion,
as it had been for 9 centuries,

Now that no one cares anymore, the English newspaper the Telegraph informs its readers that the Protestant Reformation in England was an unpopular, top-down affair, a sort of religious coup d'etat, which succeeded through violence, bribery and a steady issue of government lies, the Catholic church in England having been a vibrant and very popular institution until Henry VIII and his ministers determined they needed to destroy it for their own purposes.
Well, better late than never.
