Yes, and he then created the Church of England
Yes he did because the Pope would not go though with his divorce.
his motivation was to obtain a male heir. under the Roman Catholic Church the pope refused to legalize the divorce that he wanted. he wanted this divorce, because his wife was unable to produce a male heir for his throne. his reason to separate sounds quite selfish, but its the truth.
King Henry was married to Catherine of Aragon. He falls in love with Anne Boleyn and wants to marry her. He asks the pope to grant him a divorce, but the pope refuses because it was against the Catholic Church to get a divorce. After 7 years, Henry declares that the pope had no power over him and the pope excommunicates him. In 1534, Henry has parliament declare him the head of a new church, the Church of England, or the Anglican Church. This was a Protestant Church.
no he didn't because divorce was not allowed in the roman catholic church. Henry therefore created the church of England
King Henry VIII separated the English Church from the Catholic Church when the pope refused to grant King Henry a divorce. By forming a separate church, of which he was the head, he could grant himself a divorce.
Henry VIII did not take over the Catholic Church. He split from it and made himself the head of this new Church of England. As he was now the head of his church, he granted himself a divorce.
Yep because he was catholic and catholics can't get divorced so he started his own religion, the protestants. King Henry was married to Catherine of Aragon. He falls in love with Anne Boleyn and wants to marry her. He asks the pope to grant him a divorce, but the pope refuses because it was against the Catholic Church to get a divorce. After 7 years, Henry declares that the pope had no power over him and the pope excommunicates him. In 1534, Henry has parliament declare him the head of a new church, the Church of England, or the Anglican Church. This was a Protestant Church.
Henry VIII wanted to divorce his wife, but divorce is forbidden for Catholics, so he established the Church of England
If you mean Henry VIII's divorce from Katherine of Aragon, then it's quite simple. Henry asked the Catholic Church to condone his divorce from Katherine on the grounds that she was his brother's wife first, and he was committing adultery by marrying her. It wasn't, and the Catholic Church told him no. So Henry decided he'd had enough of the Catholic Church and created the Church of England, putting Henry himself as the head of the Church. The new Archbishop of Canterbury, Cranmer, declared Henry's marriage null and void.
he wanted to divorce and remarry
Lots of people broke with the Church over a divorce, are you referring to King Henry VIII? He was seeking an annulment, not a divorce.
