The Act of Supremacy, which set up Henry VIII as head of the English church, was enacted in 1534. Henry broke away from the Church of Rome because he went to the Pope to ask for a divorce from his first wife Catherine but the Pope would not perform the procedure. As a result Henry left and set himself up as head of the church in England.

∙ 12y agoHenry was married to Catherine of Aragon but she had failed to produce a male heir to the throne. Henry wanted to either annul the marriage or divorce her so he could marry another. The pope refused to allow him to either annul the marriage or divorce Catherine so Henry broke with the Catholic Church and formed the Church of England with himself as the head. He granted himself a divorce.

his pending divorce to katherine of aragon due to the desire to marry anne boleyn -------------------------Henry didn't break away from the Catholic Church at any time and as far as I can tell, never thought of it!

Did King Henry VIII brake away from the catholic church?
Yes Another answer: Henry VIII himself did not "break away" from the Catholic Church. Henry VIII was a devout Catholic who was awarded the title of "Defender of the Faith" by Pope Leo X after publishing his "Defence of the Seven Sacraments". Despite taking the English Catholic Church away from the authority of Rome and declaring himself Head of the newly formed Church of England, he and the Church, to some extent, remained Catholic. True Protestant reforms would come after he died.

Why did Henry's greed cause him to break away from the Catholic Church and Rome?
Henry VIII never broke away from the Catholic Church. He was born a Catholic and died a Catholic. The church in England at that time was Catholic and remained so after his death. An act or Parliaments called the Act of Supremacy made Henry head of the Catholic church in England instead of the Pope in Rome. It is the break with Rome of the English Catholic Church for which Henry is remembered. It also gave Henry the opportunity to annul his marriage to CatherineThe Act of Supremacy of November 1534 (26 Hen. 8, c. 1) was an Act of the Parliament of England under King Henry VIII declaring that he was "the only supreme head on earth of the Church in England" and that the English crown shall enjoy "all honours, dignities, preeminences, jurisdictions, privileges, authorities, immunities, profits, and commodities to the said dignity.".[1] By the wording of the Act, it was made clear that Parliament was not granting the King the title (thereby suggesting that they had the right to later withdraw them) but rather it was stated as a recognized fact. In the Act of Supremacy, Henry abandoned Rome completely. He then went on to found a new church called Ecclesia Anglicana.Answer by a CatholicI don't believe that it was his greed that caused Henry VIII to break with Rome, I believe that it was his desire for a legitimate heir. As Rome would not allow him an annulment, saying that his marriage to his wife, Catherine, was valid, he could not "put her away" and marry his mistress. His "greed", if you will, overcame him after he made himself head of the Church of England.
