Having grown tired of his wife, Queen Catherine of Aragon, King Henry VIII of England sought to divorce her in favor of Anne Boleyn. Catherine, however, had very strong connections with the Pope (her nephew was Holy Roman Emperor) and Henry's petition for a divorce was denied. After months of frustration, Henry, with the advice of Thomas Cranmer (later Archbishop of Canterbury) declared independence from the Roman Catholic Church, and created the Church of England. The Church of England remained essentially Catholic in doctrine, except with the King of England replacing the Pope as head of the church. Henry then gave himself the divorce.

King Henry viii and his marrige to Catherine of Arogon not of producing a male succesor was tactfully and planningly seduced by Anne Bolyne who convinced the King to marry her and divorce Catherine of Aragon who was the Queen of England at that time, The Divorce Led England and its king Henry VIII to split with Rome and the Catholic Church that led to the very foundation of the CHURCH OF ENGLAND
Initially it was known as the Church in Britain.

It started when the faith was brought to Britain in the years after the Crucifixion! It was quite active and influential in the Catholic sphere being represented by Bishops at ,[at least one,] at the Council of Nicaea and other bishops attended various major General Councils and did active evangelisation in Northern Europe!

The Church of England did not exist before it was created by an Act of Parliament in 1559, although it took shape and evolved from 1535 onward, especially since the time of Henry VIII's excommunication in 1538. As it did not exist in the 11th century (1066 A.D.) it could not have changed.

England got wealthier as the Church of England appropriated all of the property that originally was owned by the Catholic Church. England had a series of religious conflicts.

What change did Henry VIII make?

King Henry VIII changed the church from being catholic in England to being protestant, because he wanted a divorce which the catholic church wouldn't give him but the protestant church would. This was because he wanted a son and his wife was too old to bear him children.


What church did King Henry VII form in 1534?

The Church of England.Anglican Catholic Answer!Henry didn't form any church as far as I have been taught! He was a member of the Catholic Church in England, known throughout the ages as the Church in England! The first bishop of that Church was Aristobulos, a friend of S. Paul and who is mentioned in the Ep, to the Romans.What Henry did do was to take sides in a thousand year long dispute regarding the authority within the Church, did it still lay with the apostles through the College of Bishops? Or was it with the Bishop of Rome?Henry and the English Church simply pointed out to Rome, that according to the Canons of the Church no bishop had authority to interfere in another bishop's see. This upset the Bishop of Rome and he refused Henry in to his communion!Regardless of his intention, he did, in fact, create a Protestant denomination.


What happened in the break with rome Henry VIII?

What did Henry the eighth change in England?

it changed England. by going from the roman catholic church, and it allowed Henry to marry anne BoleynAnglican Catholic Answer!If Henry's matrimonial struggles changed England it was because eventually it brought to the throne one of the most fiercely intelligent women of that age. It brought to as far as I can tell, Queen Jane and her Cousin Elizabeth!Sadly, Jane was executed at Mary Tudor's insistence, whilst Elizabeth who was one of the most intelligent women in Europe kept the country from Civil War anf from unnecessary foreign entanglments!Henry's wedding tangle had another result, it brought the Church in England to refuse to sing from the same hymn sheet than the Roman one! For several hundred years the Churches in Europe had sought to limit the range of the Bishop of Rome's authority to that of revelation, scripture and tradition. Under Henry, the Church in England refused the Pope, or the Bishop of Rome, permission to do just that! It shocked all Europe! Never-the-less the Pope had ignored the Canons of the Catholic Church in his theological and political adventures. Henry's actions had forced the Anglican Catholics to take stop and take sides. They rejected the papacy and followed the old paths and the Pauline injunctions to ,'Keep the Deposit.'


Under the reign of Henry's daughter Mary the Church of England became the official church of the nation True False?

Not under Mary. She restored Catholicism and reconciled England with Rome, it was Elizabeth who later re-established the Church of England and undid the counter-reformation of Mary's reign. ------------------------------The Church in England had always been the official Church. It was established under the Roman Emperors at the Edict of Milan,213 AD. All the Tudors did was to put the title on the statute book and make the legislation work.

What were the results in Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn marriage?

Elizabeth I and the separation of England from the Catholic Church Very Good, apart from the fact that England didn't separate from the Catholic Church! The separation of England was from the body that derived from the Council of Trent [1564]. This came about as a result of political adventures in England, [ The pope wanting to remove the Queen,] in which the papacy had no right to be taking part! The results of the altercation between Pope and King resulted in the English Church taking the part of the early church in an ongoing argument between Church and pope. Where did authority stem from, Rome or Scripture and tradition. For England it was the latter!

What are thediffrences between the religions of christiannity and the Church of England?

ANSWER 1: The Church of England is the ANGLICAN church. In the United States, the Anglican Church is the Episcopal Church; and so, then, there is no difference between the Church of England and Christianity. The Church of England is about as Christian as it gets.However, that said, if you are a Roman Catholic who believes that Rome is the See of "the one and only true Christian church," and that all other churches are mere "also rans," then there is, for you, a difference, indeed, between Christianity and the Church of England. There isn't, of course, but if you think so, then so be it.The Church of England traces its roots to the Roman Catholic mission to England of St Augustine of Canterbury in 597 AD. Over 900 years later, when King Henry the VIII got into an argument with Rome over the annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, the then Roman Catholic churches in England all became part of the new Church of England which officially separated from Rome. A person attending church back in those days, though, would see little difference. The Church of England, to the unpracticed eye, looked and behaved nearly the same as the Roman Catholic Church... as it does, in many respects, to this day. The biggest difference was, simply, that the Church of England no longer acknowledged the supremacy of Rome. That was pretty much, at that time, the biggest difference.Under Queen Mary, in 1555, the Church of England was placed back under the Authority of Rome; but Queen Elizabeth I would have no part of it, and by 1558 the Church of England was independent of Rome once again... where it has stayed ever since.The Church of England is, then, entirely Christian... as Christian as Roman Catholicism. There are few differences; and what differences there are would take longer to explain than there's room for, here.


Who is the head of the Catholic Church in England?

England, Australia and every other country where Roman Catholicism exists, is always headed by the Pope. The Roman Catholic Church has just one earthly leader who resides in Rome.
