When King Henry VIII broke away from the Catholic Church he designed it so that the king would be the leader of the Church of England. So he was the ruler of the church.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe sole ruler, on earth, of the Church in England has always been the Pope, the Vicar of Christ. When Henry VIII broke from the Church, he created his own "church" making himself head of the Church of England. Big difference. The Church inEngland, is just the English branch of the worldwide Catholic Church. The Church of England is a protestant church founded by Henry VIII and parliament.Wiki User
