What was Henry the religion of Henry the eighth?
He was very much catholic. Henry the 8th created the church of England only to become head of the church to divorce his wife Catherine. The church of England had all the aspects of a catholic church except that the head of the church was the king of England and not the pope.
What were Henrys VII reigious belifes and why did they change?
Henry VIII was a Roman catholic, but changed the church to Protestant for 4 main reasons, love, power, money and religion, so Henry VII must have been Roman Catholic at the end of his reign. If he changed the religion, it was probably because of the preasure put on hime by the Romans. However, I thought that Henry VIII changed the church first, and Henry VII didn't. Just in case you made a typing error, Henry VIII changed the church to divorce Catherine of Aragon and marry Anne bolynn, which the church wouldn't allow. He also needed the money he would make from church taxes and selling the land previosly owned by the monastrys to pay for his wars in France. They also owned beautiful treasures of gold and silver which Henry could sell. Henry thought that the Pope in Rome had too much power over England, changing the church would lessen this. He would become popular with the protestants, and hold the power of the church himself. Anne Bolynn came from a protestant family, and changing the church would please her and her family. Sorry if I am wrong and Henry VII did change the church

How much power did Henry 8th get when he became Church of England?
Anglican Answer!Henry had always been Church of England! He had the powers he inherited from his father as King of England and in the Church in England he was a member of a Church which was held in deep respect by all but a few of his countrymen. Anglicanism, was Catholicity with a n English face.His struggle was not Anglican against Catholic as many try to persuade us, but Anglican against Roman. The struggle had been rampaging through the Church in Western Europe since the Eastern Church had been forced out by papal demands in 1054. Henry's part in all this was to point out to the papacy that its pretensions to power in the Catholic Church were going against the fundamentals of the Canons, or rules!

What political reasons led King Henry VIII to split with the catholic church?
1) The treasuries of England during Henry's reign were severly depleted and the Catholic Church held much wealth - idols, illuminated books, tapestries, paintings, etc. - which Henry could seize and add to his own coffers. 2) Henry the VIII was a socialist. The Catholic Church was very corrupt in the 14th century, and there was a lot of unnecessary superstition connected with the church. Henry (and in fact Anne Boleyn) both opposed the corrupt, superstitous and ritualistic practices of the Catholic Church, and wanted to "free" the English people from the oppression. Through forming the Church of England, Henry diverted much of the Catholic Church's funds to other uses, such as education and public health.

What were the accomplishments of Thomas Becket?
Thomas Becket was the Archbishop of Canterbury. At the same time, King Henry II, who had been Becket's close friend, was trying to increase his own power at the expense of the Church. Becket resisted this and was assassinated in the cathedral during Vespers. Four knights had tried to get him to leave with them, and when he refused, they attacked him with their swords, while he continued to say his prayers. As a result of these acts, King Henry was humiliated and the power of the Church was significantly increased. Becket was a martyr, and the Church soon declared him to be a saint. Pilgrims went to Canterbury to visit the shrine of a saint to had stood up to a king, and this also diminished the stature of the monarchy for centuries, until the Church in England was pretty much overwhelmed by King Henry VIII.
