This educational cartoon illustrates the Catholic Church’s authority to excommunicate individuals who violate core doctrines, using King Henry VIII’s 1533 divorce and remarriage as a pivotal example. The scene features symbolic English flags (St. George’s Cross) and dramatic lighting to emphasize the gravity of ecclesiastical censure. It serves as a visual aid for teaching church history, canon law, and the separation of church and state.
