Henry declared himself the head of the church in England and the Pope excommunicated him.

The Pope stopped speaking to King Henry VIII because Henry requested an annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, which the Pope refused to grant. This led Henry to break away from the Catholic Church and establish the Church of England with himself as the head, causing a rift between him and the Pope.
