Yes, it IS very interesting what he died for. Didn't our Lord JesusChrist say of His cousin, "Greater man of woman has not been woman"??,or more accurately from Douay-Rheims Bible: "Amen, I say to you,there hath not risen among them that are born of women a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is the lesser in the kingdom of Heaven is greater than he." (st. Matthew 11:11). This "intrigues" me that He should have said that about St. John the Baptist instead of, (for instance) about St. Joseph, His own virginal foster-father.
Henry VIII's early martyrs could also be said to have died for the Sacrament of Marriage. I'm sure that Henry would have settled happily for a 'period of reflection and an expression of repentance' after his 'marriage' to Anne Boleyn and then re-admittance to the Sacraments.
Never thought of him as being a martyr for marriage before.
