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 the VIII was a good roman catholic but he then turned into a protestant (church of England.
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.
No, it was Henry VIII.
No, he wanted a divorce from Catherine of Aragon so he could marry Anne Boleyn the Catholic church would not grant him one( this is against the ?Catholic doctrine) so being head of the church he unilaterally broke away from the Catholic church and established what is today known as the Anglican Church
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.

One of the reasons that Henry shouldn't have divorced Catherine was that she was his legal wife, and that no annulment was sent by the Pope. Another reason would have been his fear of excommunication of the Roman Catholic Church.
