Everybody who lived in England in the 17th century had to be a part of the Anglican Church, which the king had made the official church of England. This is the reason that most colonists came to America, to seek religious freedom.

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 church does the queen of England belong to?

Love. Because she wait for Jesus and wish him to marry her because she has been taken apart from him over a long time I think. He should be a man to her even he has so many failures. He shouldn't run away and try to stay beside her to show that he love her and protect her from crying. He is scared of being apart too, so why don't they marry. Because of royalty, they pretend that they don't love each other, but she gave her position to be a Pope so I would like to define that her love is "watching over him".
