I think that there is still a great controversy about whether Katherine of Aragon's marriage to Arthur was consummated or not. Historians disagree on this subject.
Henry did marry Anne because of old-fashioned lust and his desire to have an heir but I agree that he was a deeply spiritual man who really didn't want to break away from the Church. In his case I suppose that his selfishness and lust collided with his spirituality!
Best Regards,
Attaining Grace
