Because he did
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.
After King Henry VIII died, his son Edward VI succeeded him and introduced Protestant reforms, which were continued by Queen Elizabeth I. This led to the establishment of the Church of England as a Protestant church, further solidifying the break from the Roman Catholic Church. Religious conflicts and tensions continued in the following years, including the persecution of Catholics and Puritans.
