Luther or Henry VIII had a better reason to break with the Church?

The reasons for Martin Luther and Henry VIII breaking with the Church were different and stemmed from distinct motivations. Martin Luther, a German monk, sought religious reforms based on his theological disagreements with certain practices of the Catholic Church, such as the sale of indulgences. His concerns were more doctrinal and focused on what he saw as deviations from true Christian teachings.

On the other hand, Henry VIII, the King of England, desired an annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, which the Pope denied. Henry's break with the Church and the establishment of the Church of England was motivated by political and personal reasons, including his desire for a male heir and greater control over the Church within his realm.

Both figures had their reasons, but the nature of their motivations differed, making it challenging to directly compare and determine which had a "better" reason for breaking with the Church.
