The Act of Supremacy was established by King Henry VIII of England in 1534. It declared the king as the Supreme Head of the Church of England, effectively breaking away from the authority of the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church. This act marked the beginning of the English Reformation, allowing for the establishment of Protestantism in England and enabling Henry to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon.
Henry VIII's actions led to the break from the Catholic Church and the establishment of the Church of England. He dissolved monasteries, seized their wealth, and asserted his authority as the head of the church in England. This eventually led to the English Reformation and a shift in religious power away from Rome.

In 1534, the English Parliament passed the Act of Supremacy, which declared King Henry VIII as the Supreme Head of the Church of England. This legislation marked the formal break with the Roman Catholic Church and established the monarch's authority over religious matters in England. Additionally, it reinforced the dissolution of monasteries and the redistribution of their wealth and lands. This act was a crucial step in the English Reformation.
No. No English royal has been Catholic since Henry VIII. He began the Church of England when he defied the Pope in his marriage to Ann Boleyn. It is against English law for a King or Queen of England to be Catholic. So, the wedding yesterday was in the Church of England.

The separation of the Church of England from the Catholic Church in 1534 was primarily driven by King Henry VIII's desire to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, which the Pope refused to sanction. In response, Henry enacted the Act of Supremacy, declaring himself the Supreme Head of the Church of England. This marked the beginning of the English Reformation, leading to significant religious and political changes in England, as the Church of England broke away from papal authority and established its own doctrines and practices.
