Henry VIII did a great job of preventing the Protestant Reformation from having any great affect on England - until he needed a divorce. When the Catholic Church refused to grant Henry VIII a divorce, he decided to make his own version of Christianity, where he made the rules. Henry VIII started the Anglican / Church of England, where Henry VIII was the head of the church (much like the Pope). Henry VIII gave himself permission to divorce and ordered all his subjects to become Protestant.
Henry would have had little time for Protestants. He was aware of a reformist movement in the English Catholic Church trying to introduce theoligical elements based on the new protestant doctrine. When Henry VIII came to the throne, he was a devout Catholic and defended the Church against them. Henry VIII did not agree with their views. In 1521, Pope Leo X honoured Henry VIII with the title "Defender of Faith', because of his support for the Roman Church. When the Pope refused to grant Henry VIII an annulment from Catherine of Aragon, Henry split the English Church from the Roman church. Rather than the pope, the king would be the spiritual head of the English church. Reformest elements in the English Church at that time gave him support.King Henry VIII declared himself supreme head of a new Church of England. (The Act of Supremacy). This marked the start of centuries or religious conflict in Britain. It is a common misconception, particularly amongst Americans, that Henry VIII became a "Protestant" and turned England overnight into a Protestant country.
because the catholic church wouldn't let Henry viii divorce Catherine of aragon so he left the church and made a new one
The Religion Of the TudorsThe Tudors were all different religions at different times. For instance when Henry VIII came to the throne he did not agree with people being Catholics and forced them to be Christians. Some people were strong Catholics and when the king found out that there was someone who was not his religion then they got punished. This could mean being burned or maybe having their head chopped off.However when Mary I came to the throne she was determined to make the country completely Catholic unlike her Fathers opinion. She tried to make England Catholic but like before there were many Protestants. Mary I burned over 300 protestants and that is how she got her nickname 'Bloody Mary'.To answer your question, when the Tudors were around there was not one main religion but the Kings and Queens who wanted to be in charge wanted to make them their religion which was different in different cases. Also, some people nowadays have evidence of secret hiding places where true Catholics worshipped, so King Henry VIII could not see them.
King Henry the Eighth was unsatisfied with the decisions the pope wouldn't let him make, therefore forming the belief of Anglicanism. He switched the rules of Catholicism to his liking so he could finally get the male heir he had been longing for. Henry did not form any religion, he was a Catholic and a member of the Church in England. What he did do, along with the English Church was to tell the pope that when he interfered in another bishop's see , the pope was breaking the rules and traditions of the Holy Catholic Church!
Anglican Catholic Answer!Henry didn't of course turn England protestant or turn protestant himself.What Henry did, for whatever reason, was to query the right of the papacy to interfere in another bishop's see! Pointing out that whoever did so contravened the Canons of Nicea and broke the basic rules of the Church!To adhere to the rules of the Ecumenical Councils is not to become protestant, to abandon the teaching of the Church is to become a heretic! Henry abandoned no rules or teaching!

To make Protestant chruches seem emotionally empty
He didn't make "the Protestant Church" he made a sect, or a branch of Christianity. He created the Anglican Church in 1534.
Yes. You can make an anecdote about anyone you like.
