A Catholic can divorce and remain a Catholic as long as the person does not remarry. The Catholic Church does not recognize divorce so would consider the person as separated from the spouse. To remarry the person would have to obtain a Church annulment or the previous spouse would have to die. If the person remarries without an annulment, that person would be considered as an adulterer and could not receive the sacraments.
The Anglican Church, as we have seen with Henry VIII's life, is much more liberal when it comes to divorce.

Is the Roman Catholic an Anglican church?
First allow me to point out: It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. Second, the Catholic Church has been around since 33 A.D., and was formed by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ on St. Peter (see Matthew 16:17-19). The Anglican Church was formed out of nothing by Henry VIII in the 16th century when he wanted a divorce from his wife and the Church would not grant him one, so he took his entire nation out of the Church and formed the Anglican Church for the sole purpose of giving him a divorce, and making him head of the Church. So, no, the Catholic Church is most definitely not an Anglican Church.
