He sacked the pope and changed the British religion from Catholic to Protestant. He then appointed a Archbishop of Canterbury.

Henry did not sack the pope! [source?] He pointed out that the Council of Nicaea, the major Council in Church history, prohibits the interference of one bishop in another bishop's see without his permission. The pope couldn't renege on Nice without causing immense trouble! It is fundamental to Church Order! As to appointing another Archbishop? Who was that then ? Cranmer received his Scarf from Rome!

By the way, Henry at no time broke from Rome, neither did England, the break came from the other side!
