Answer

Opposing King Henry VIII's scheme to annul his marriage, Tyndale believed it to be unscriptural and viewed the king's actions as morally wrong and a betrayal of Christian principles. He considered the marriage between Henry and Catherine of Aragon to be valid and held that divorce was prohibited by the Bible, except in cases of adultery.
