Secular means that the state is neutral to the church. How was that possible when the church was the official justification of the state?

You're confusing "secular" with "worldy".

Does the name "Henry VIII" ring any bells?

It does not. dictionary, and yes Henry VIII is a great example of what I'm talking about, when he didn't get what he wanted he just changed the rules. Also he doesn't belong to middle ages in any way or form, lol.
