TM had written to the king acknowledging Anne Boleyn's queenship and expressing his desire for the King's happiness and the new queen's health. But when More didn't attend the coronation of the queen it was looked upon as an insult. Yet, we cannot look at the divorce of Catherine of Aragon as being More's main issue.

I am not a historian. You would probably do very well as one.
Nor am I am interested in attaining any such title. All I did was ask a question
and then stated that, all things considered, nothing would have changed the
desire of the king to divorce one woman in order to marry another...nor how
many times he may have divorced and remarried. It really has no bearing on
preaching and teaching the truth of the gospel.
I am certain that the history of the scriptures endows a person with faith; for
there is Spirit and Life in the scriptures. But the history of man, not so much.
