What church did King Henry VII form in 1534?

The Church of England.Anglican Catholic Answer!Henry didn't form any church as far as I have been taught! He was a member of the Catholic Church in England, known throughout the ages as the Church in England! The first bishop of that Church was Aristobulos, a friend of S. Paul and who is mentioned in the Ep, to the Romans.What Henry did do was to take sides in a thousand year long dispute regarding the authority within the Church, did it still lay with the apostles through the College of Bishops? Or was it with the Bishop of Rome?Henry and the English Church simply pointed out to Rome, that according to the Canons of the Church no bishop had authority to interfere in another bishop's see. This upset the Bishop of Rome and he refused Henry in to his communion!Regardless of his intention, he did, in fact, create a Protestant denomination.

Who was first woman bishop?

The have been no Catholic women bishops. The Catholic Church does not ordain women to any ministry; it teaches that the Lord Jesus chose men to form the college of the twelve apostles, and the apostles did the same when they chose collaborators to succeed them in their ministry. The Church recognizes herself to be bound by this choice made by the Lord himself. For this reason the ordination of women is not possible.
