How did the Catholic Church tax policies weaken the church?
In most countries, in most times, the Catholic Church only taxes the parishes, not individuals. Unless you can ask a more specific question, I would have to say that 1) there are no Catholic Church tax policies for people, and 2) The Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, and, thus, cannot be "weakened".

Why do Germans pay a tax for the Catholic church?
Catholic canon law in Germany states "Die Kirche hat das angeborene Recht, von den Gläubigen zu fordern, was für die ihr eigenen Zwecke notwendig ist" - The Church has the inherrent right to demand from the faithful what she needs for her own ends.Further German federal law states that tax-payers in Germany must pay tax to the church of their religion. The church tax is only paid by members of the respective church. People who are not member of a church tax-collecting denomination do not have to pay it. This tax currently stands at 8% or 9% of a member's income tax, depending on the state you live in and is taken at source (e.g. someone paying €1,000 tax will have a further €80 or €90 deducted from their pay). The only way to avoid paying this tax is to leave the church. This must be done officially and notarized at a cost of €30.Church tax contributions may be used to cover any church-related expenses such as founding institutions and foundations or paying priests, ministers or rabbis.A tax-payer is liable to pay this tax EVEN IF they are a non-practicing member.Members of the Jewish, Catholic and Protestant faith are all liable to pay this tax

Henri the eighth ant the Anglican churche?
King Henry VIII wanted a divorce from his wife. The Pope would not grant it. He also wanted to stop paying a large annual tax to the Pope. To get his divorce and greatly reduce his tax bill, he pulled the church in England out from under the Pope. He had the Archbishop of Canterbury, William Crammer, create a new organization, the Anglican Church. The church kept the Roman Catholic form of government. Instead of using the same worship service as the church at Rome, it used an English translation of the Greek Orthodox worship service at Constantinople. The church uses Protestant articles of faith. That church gave Henry his divorce.(An Anglican Church can be run like a bells and smells high church Roman Catholic Church. It can be run like a low church casual Protestant Church. It can be like a Pentecostal Church. There are 8 denominations of Anglicans in the United States filling all spectrums.)

What is the dollar value of all the real estate and businesses owned in the US by the Roman Catholic Church?
This is very difficult to ascertain. In one sense, the only thing which is property of the Roman Catholic Church as such is the nunciature, which is equivalent in international law to an embassy. The Catholic Church, however, is more than just what is attributed directly to the Vatican. To find out exactly what real estate and businesses are owned by the Church in a mediated way you would have to count in the properties of the various diocese, religious orders, associations etc. Not all of these are strictly religious and so are not tax-exempt, which complicates matters even more. The Church, you see, is not a monolithic entity, and when we talk about "Church property" we could, in order to understand it more clearly say "the property of an organization that is associated with the Catholic communion." Something that the Jesuits own is administered in all effects by the Jesuits and not by the Pope and cannot properly be considered to be Vatican property.

Do German Catholic priests receive salaries from states?
Indirectly, as far as I know, the German priests receive their paycheck from their diocese - their Bishop, but the vast bulk of the diocesan income is from a tax levied against all those who declare the Catholic Church is their Church, thus the state takes an automatic deduction, and supports the Catholic Church, the protestant church, and the Jews, all through this income deduction.
