Palace of Henry VIII to Hold First Catholic Service

10London-web-master675“Henry VIII will be spinning in his grave!”  Not really, if anything he would be laughing because he would know that the service is not Catholic.

LONDON — “Henry VIII will be spinning in his grave!” said the headline inThe Daily Mail, a British tabloid.

Hampton Court Palace, where the Tudor king, Henry, broke off ties with the papacy in 1530 just to divorce his first wife and marry his mistress — with whom he was besotted and whom he later beheaded — on Tuesday held its first Roman Catholic service in more than 450 years. MORE
