sometimes it's good to be the King
In the year of 1534.
Because he wanted a divorce from Catherine of Aragon and making himself head of the church he could change the laws and get the divorce he wanted to then marry Anne Boylen.
he destroyed all of the monasteries and made himself head of the church instead of the pope.
Henry bullied an ecclesiastical council to make him the head of the Church in England which soon became the Church of England. Henry then granted himself an annulment to Katherine of Aragon and married Anne Boleyn.
He abolished the monasterys. Changed the church to make himself the head. Gave us one of Englands Greatest queens
he argued and made against to Henry the 8th but Henry didn't listen to him and Henry decided to make himself the leader of England church
When Henry VIII proclaimed The Act Of Supremacy, which make him the head of the Church of England, thus making the authority of the Pope invalid in England, he then confiscated the immense wealth that the medievel monastaries had collected over hundreds of years, making himself rich.
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.
He separated England from the Roman Catholic church and formed the Church of England - one where he was the head figure of the church, thus he was allowed to make his own rules.
HenryVIII wanted to setup his own church because he didnt like the catholic pope's power and he didnt let Henry have a divorce with his wife, so Henry decided to setup his own church (protestant) and make himself superior head of all protestant churches. Henry of course didn't set up his own religion! He opposed the Bishop of Rome in his attempt to achieve mastery over the Continental Church at that time . This was when Henry and the English Church told the pope that he was breaking the Canons of the early Church!
So he could divorse his wife and marry again Henry wanted to divorce his wife who was unable to bare him a son. The Pope would not allow the divorce. Henry started his own church, the Church of England and thus became the head of state and of the church he divorced catherine of aragon.
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.
