Henry didn't separate himself or England from the Catholic Church! Henry was a member of the Catholic Church and until his accident in a jousting event was a perfectly normal one. [That isn't to say too much!] What Henry did was to expect the normal service given to monarchs by the pope in their marital problems and the pope disappointed him. He wanted an annulment, the pope being a prisoner of the Emperor couldn't give him one without offending that august monarch who was uncle to Henry's Queen.. Henry, something of a scholar, realised that the pope was breaking, regularly away, the canons of the Council of Nicaea and adding to the Deposit of faith, both damaging to the Catholic Church!

The pope offended withdrew his communion from Henry but it was not till 1570, that the Bishop of Rome founded a schismatic Church in England!
