The Pope told the English Queen she was a heretic , a pretend Queen and a servant of crime , he threatened excommunication to any who obeyed her orders. She on the other hand persecuted Catholics ( Jesuits ) and murdered Mary Queen of Scots. Politics in the Fifteen Hundreds , perhaps slightly less refined than by today's standards , perhaps ?
I suppose you could reasonably admit , that the Anglican Church was more a progressive body between the Two , as Parliament was used to grant legitimate supremacy to the Monarch.
Personally I view both religion and the monarchy as relics of times gone by , it reminds me of that old quote " The last King will be strangled by the entrails of the last priest " Happy days indeed.
Trotsky ! well he lives in the minds of the misguided.
