Whatever the doctrinal roots of the Protestant movement, the Church of England owes it existence at least in part to the philandering of a married midle-aged man who, in pursuit of a narrow political aim, bedded various women for whom he had little respect. He broke with Rome in order to obtain divorce, not for any deeply held religious reasons. He then went on to have several of his wives beheaded. Hardly a sound basis, or a decent role model, for a body so concerned with morality and preaching!
Before we are told "but that was centuries ago," please remember that the Church bases its teachings on events of THOUSANDS of years ago.
