"Excommunication" The Pope can "excommunicate" a person from the Catholic Church. e.g. Henry VIII was excommunicated from the Catholic Church, because he changed the Church in England to Protestant.
No one. Queen Elizabeth was the daughter of King Henry VIII. King Henry couldn't have a son, so he broke away from the Roman Catholic church to form his own church, that allowed divorces. The Church of England was what Elizabeth was born into.
You answered it yourself- Henry Viii - the Great Harry and a bad man in many ways.
Catholic Answer:The Anglican Church (Church of England) schismed from the Catholic Church because King Henry the VIII wanted an annulment but was not granted one by the Pope. After this King Henry VIII declared himself to be the true leader of the Church, and was then excommunicated by Pope Clement VII. As such the Anglican Church is not considered to have valid Sacraments or Apostolic Succession by the Catholic Church and does not have any more communion with the Catholic Church than any other Protestant ecclesial community.
When Henry became Head of the Church in England, he confiscated property which had previously belonged to the Catholic Church. The wealth then became part of the Royal Treasury.
Henry VIII did not form the Catholic Church. He actually broke away from the Catholic Church and formed the Church of England in 1534.
Most of the hospitals in England were operated by the Catholic Church. When Henry confiscated Catholic property and drove off the Catholics medical services deteriorated considerably in that country.
Henry the VIII was a good roman catholic but he then turned into a protestant (church of England.
The Reformation was because the pope wouldn't give him a divorce from Catherine so he left the Catholic Church and created his own church. He was able to take the Catholic Church property and funds which he liked.
He got excommunicated from The Roman Catholic Church. He was basically banned from being a catholic so supposedly his soul would be doomed to an eternity in hell.
Henry got excommunicated because he wanted to divorce Catherine and marry Anne Boleyn. One of the reasons is that Henry needed an heir to the throne and had only one child, a daughter. Catherine was getting old and could not really have any more children. Whilst that was happening Henry had a affair with Anne and she was then pregnant. So Henry went to the pope since he was a Catholic, to get divorced. But the pope said no because they had consummated the marriage (had sex after being married). But Henry said that he thought that Arthur, Henry's brother had already consummated with her but they hadn't. So Henry went on and built his own church (the church of England.) He had made himself head allowing him to do whatever he wanted. So he divorced Catherine (the only reason he was with her was to be in alliance to be with Spain.) He then married Anne, and for that reason he was excommunicated. But that was bad because he then had another DAUGHTER!
