In 1521, the staunchly Catholic King Henry VIII of England wrote a theological treatise "Assertio Septem Sacramentorum" (aka. a "Defence of the Seven Sacraments") as a rebuttal of Martin Luther's "Babylonian Captivity of the Church," in which the reformer had described the pope as the "antichrist." King Henry received the title "Defender of the Faith" from Pope Leo X for his work of refuting Protestant heresies. This new edition of the "Assertio" reprints the English (only) text of Henry's work along with Fr. Louis O'Donovan's classic analysis and commentary, plus three new appendices: A historical timeline of events, the text of Henry's Six Articles of Religion, as well as Fr. E.S. Buchanan's translation of Luther's scathing reply to Henry and his "Assertio Septem Sacramentorum."
