This is a misconception.

For one, if you could read in the 1500s you could read Latin. It was the language of science and education in Europe until the 1800s. England was still making coins with Latin on them until well into the 1950s, maybe even later. The claim that only the rich knew Latin is a fallacy (although literacy rates in general weren't good at the time because of how rare books were). Latin is not that hard to understand, and pre-Vatican II your average Catholic understood exactly what was going on at Mass.

Secondly, there was no point in taking the time to do expensive translations in many languages when it took a year or longer to copy a single Bible by hand. The printing press rolled around circa 1490 and changed that.

Henry VIII was also a monster so anyone who suggests like he was some kind of an underdog hero and not a bloodthirsty and lustful tyrant is good for a laugh.
