It is generally conceded that the major factor in Henry's reformation of the Church was to assure a male heir for his Kingdom, which his first wife Catherine of Aragon had failed to produce and that which Anne Boleyn promised to deliver. Henry appealed to the Pope for an annulment, based on the fact that his elder brother Arthur had been married to Catherine before himself. The Pope was at the time a prisoner of Catherine's nephew, Emperor Charles, and declared that Catherine's marriage to Henry was still valid as Catherine claimed her marriage with Arthur had never been consummated.
Henry banished Catherine in 1531 and their marriage was declared illegal by Thomas Cranmer on 23 May 1533 and five days later on the 28th Cranmer declared Henry's marriage to Anne Boleyn legal.
Henry's other reasons for reforming the Church could be said to include the state of the English Treasuries. While Henry had inheirited a large fortune from his father, Henry VII, much of this money had dissipated and the English Treasuries were very bare when Henry began his reform. Part of the reform was to seize monastaries, churches, etc. as assets of the crown, including all the valuable relics within. Henry managed to replete the his fortune with the Church's treasures.
Finally, Henry was also said to be somewhat of an early socialist/humanist, and it is said he disliked some of the Catholic Church's practices, although he was very loyal to their core beliefs. Henry ordered that his people be taught their prayers in English, instead of Latin, because he didn't see the point in praying in a dead language. He also cracked down on other Catholic shortfalls, such as superstious rituals and corrupt preists.

What does it mean to dream of a tractor trailer?
This dream would have very different interpretations depending on where the tractor trailer is seen, and whether it is moving toward or away from you , or not moving at all. The underlying factor is traveling, and could represent moving forward into the future, or making progress toward your goals. A tractor trailer general hauls a huge amount of freight, and in the dream that freight probably represents the "load" you carry through life.
