Yes, a male heir. He was in love with Anne Boleyn, but the main cause for the start of the English Reformation was to divorce (or annul) his marriage to Catherine of Aragon--which the pope forbid. He thought that his marriage was a sin because Catherine was his brother's widow, and that was forbidden by The Bible. For that reason (though the pope had granted a dispensation) he thought that he had been "given" no sons. He hoped to get sons out of Anne Boleyn, and that was the main cause of his divorce, not his love (which faded away after she failed to give birth to a live son).

∙ 10y agoIt's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church.
The motives boil down to two: his lust and his desire for a legitimate heir. In other words, putting his own desires ahead of fidelity to God.
