I'm not sure if this is the answer but i think the catholic was popular in Henry VIII reign because he supported catholics himself.
Henry VIII did not form the Catholic Church. He actually broke away from the Catholic Church and formed the Church of England in 1534.
Henry the VIII was a good roman catholic but he then turned into a protestant (church of England.
Henry broke away from the catholic church and established the Church of England with himself as head.
Henry VIII wanted to break with Rome, but not the Catholic religion. The Church in England, at least during Henry's reign, remained Catholic in theology and liturgy. After the break and until Henry's death, the Protestant religion was still illegal in England.

No, the Catholic Church remained unchanged. Henry founded his own church with him as the head and made many changes that were different from the true established Catholic Church.
No, it was Henry VIII.
During the rein of King Henry VIII, parliament passed the first Act of Supremacy. This act declared Henry VIII supreme head of the Church of England. This separated the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church of which the pope was leader.
I am not sure what you mean. However, Henry had ended his relationship with the Catholic Church so he died as a member of the Anglican Church and not as a Catholic.
The Roman Catholic church
All monarchs before Elizabeth I were catholic, although her father Henry VIII left that church during his reign. Her sister Mary I, who reigned before her, was catholic.
1) The treasuries of England during Henry's reign were severly depleted and the Catholic Church held much wealth - idols, illuminated books, tapestries, paintings, etc. - which Henry could seize and add to his own coffers. 2) Henry the VIII was a socialist. The Catholic Church was very corrupt in the 14th century, and there was a lot of unnecessary superstition connected with the church. Henry (and in fact Anne Boleyn) both opposed the corrupt, superstitous and ritualistic practices of the Catholic Church, and wanted to "free" the English people from the oppression. Through forming the Church of England, Henry diverted much of the Catholic Church's funds to other uses, such as education and public health.
