Best Answer

Henry VIII broke with the church because the Pope refused to grant him a divorce from Katherine of Aragon. He desired a divorce so that he would be free to marry Anne Boleyn, who he believed would produce a male heir. Queen Katherine was beyond childbearing years. The combination of Queen Katherine not producing a living male heir and Henry's passion for Anne Boleyn drove him to break with the church.

Did Henry VIII break with Rome because he wanted more love?

The Break With Rome was caused as Henry VIII wanted a Son to take to the heir after him. His wife at the time couldn't give birth and he asked the Pope for a divorce, he refused and Henry was not happy so he sacked the Pope and the newly appointed Arch Bishop of Canterbury gave Henry a divorce. * The original religion was Catholic and Henry changed it to Protestant. * Another reason for the Break with Rome was that the monasteries were rich and Henry wanted there money as he had spent a lot on wars.
