Sir Thomas devoted himself to his duties with utmost zeal until Henry, desirous of but lacking a male heir to the throne, declared his marriage to Catherine of Aragon null and announced his intent to marry Ann Boleyn. Since the [[divorce]] was without Papal approval and directly opposed to the laws of the Church, More refused to support the king’s decision. He resigned his office and retired to Chelsea where, greatly concerned with the heresies of Luther’s revolt, he continued his writings in defense of the Catholic faith.  
Sir Th omas se consagraba a sus deberes con el máximo
celo, hasta que Enrique, deseoso de tener un heredero varón
para el trono, y no teniéndolo, declaró nulo su matrimonio
con Catalina de Aragón y anunció su intención de casarse
con Ana Bolena. Puesto que el [[Special:MyLanguage/divorce|divorcio]] no tenía la
aprobación papal y se oponía directamente a las leyes de la
Iglesia, Moro se negó a apoyar la decisión del rey. Renunció
a su cargo y se retiró a Chelsea, donde, muy preocupado por
las herejías de la revuelta de Lutero, continuó sus escritos
en defensa de la fe católica.  


Without friends and without office, More and his family lived in abject poverty. Nevertheless, Henry had been insulted at the chancellor’s public disapproval of him. The king, therefore, sought to defame More and thus restore his royal image. When Sir Thomas clearly refused to give the oath of supremacy to Henry as head of the new Church of England, he was imprisoned in the dread Tower of London. Badgered by king’s lawyers, More staunchly refused to compromise the position of the Church but diplomatically avoided direct accusation of the king, thereby saving his life and remaining a testimony to Henry’s sinful injustice.
