Initially the English reformation was state led with Henry's eagerness to get his hands on Church lands! Then in his haste to get an annulment from his wife and with the Bishop of Romes lukewarm refusal, Henry pointed out that one bishop has no right of interference in another bishop's see, at least according to the Council of Nice! It is the Ecumenical Councils that are the magisterium of the Catholic Church and the pope couldn't argue. Henry caused people to look fresh at the Canons and Councils of the Church and set off a series of separations over the next three hundred years from the Roman Catholic Church! There would perhaps have been other in 1810 , but the pope agreed with Napoleon that the Emperor could sack the French Bishops and he would allow new ones .

The revolt of Luther preceded that of the Kings and Queen of England, it differed in that it was imposed by the rulers of England on a populace that did not want their religion removed. Those in power in England made many martyrs, turned nuns and monks out of their monasteries, and killed anyone willing to stand up for their faith, the Christian faith of centuries. For a complete account of this, please read Eamon Duffy's The Stripping of the Altars at the link below, another excellent, although short work is Treason, A Catholic Novel of Elizabethan England by Dena Hunt, also at the links below:

How did the protestant reformation affect England economics?

The Protestant Reformation has a profound effect on England; socially, politically and economically. The economic effects of the Protestant Reformation in England were derived primarily from two great changes that occured in England during the Reformation. For cententies preceeding the Reformation, the Catholic Church would raise money by selling indulgences and imposing tributes on all the nations of Catholic Christendom. This would result in much of the money and gold of Europe leaving non-Papal states and concentrating in Italy; impoverishing European states in the process. With the seperation of the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church, Rome was unable to tax/levy England for money to finance its operations on the European continent. This resulted in money and gold being retained in England, much to the benefit of English merchants and other men of commerce; helping to expand and grow the English economy. Secondly, with seperation came the transfer of control of much of English territory from the Catholic Church to the English monarchy. England, much like all of Western Europe, was still largely physiocratic and agrarian; most wealth was derived from the control and use of land. Prior to the Reformation, much of England's land was under the control of Rome; preventing the English from using it to improve their own wealth and prosperity. However, with the Reformation, most of this land was transferred to the English monarchy, allowing for the English to use English land for English interests. These two effects of the Reformation, in conjunction with many others, profoundly affected English economics.

How was the reformation on England different from its counterpart on the continent?

The Reformation that took place in England beginning in the 16th century differed in various ways from the reforms being undertaken on the European continent. Most significantly, the English Reformation was in essence politically-driven rather than religiously-driven; that is, reforms were undertaken especially with political goals in mind, despite whatever doctrinal or spiritual or liturgical (etc.) changes were also viewed as desirable.
