FACTS

Pope Paul III and the Excommunication of King Henry VIII

This episode cuts through the myths surrounding Henry VIII’s break with Rome.

We examine:
• His marriages and annulment request
• Rome’s patience and repeated warnings
• Why authority, not just divorce, was the real issue
• The final papal sentence issued by Pope Paul III

If you’ve heard “Henry was never excommunicated” or “it was only about divorce,” this episode addresses the record directly.

FACTS

I want to sincerely thank everyone who has reached out after seeing the episode with Trent Horn today, where it was made public that my family and I have come into full communion with Rome through the Anglican Ordinariate.

I understand that this news will be encouraging for some and disappointing for others. I don’t take either response lightly. Wherever you land, I’m grateful for the many thoughtful messages, prayers, and conversations that have followed.

What I do want to be clear about is this: FACTS is not changing its mission. This channel will continue producing the same kind of content it always has—content that fits the acronym and the original purpose.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the work over the years, even when we don’t agree on every conclusion. Your support has meant more than you know.

God bless.

FACTS

“The biblical statement about Christ’s exclusive mediation is conclusive. Christ is the only Mediator, ‘for there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all’ (1 Tim 2:5-6). Our salvation is solely the work of the saving grace of Christ and of no one else.”
