Henry the VIII married Catherine of Aragon because his father said if he did he would remain allies with Spain
She was widowed by Henry's brother and that marriage was a political union to keep peace between Spain and England. England didn't want to lose that peace, so henry married her.
Is this question about Henry the 8th or the 7th? Henry the 8th broke with the Catholic church simply because the Vatican would not allow an annulment of his marriage with Catherine of Aragon.
Henry VIII married Catherine Parr so that he could have a male heir (a son) take over the throne once he had died. This is the reason for him marring all his wives. << tecnically Henry already had a male heir ! Reason1 He needed a spare male heir because if Edward died then Mary would rule Reason2 Henry was very ill and needed a wife to nurse him
There were two reasons: 1. Catherine of Aragon was originally married to Henry VIII's elder brother, Arthur. Henry got a dispensation - that is, special permission - to marry his deceased brother's wife, which is forbidden under Catholic law. 2. When Henry VIII wanted the divorce the Papal States were under Spanish occupation and the Pope didn't want to offend the King of Spain.
it is Economic
There were several reasons why Henry VIII did not want to remain married to Catherine of Aragon. The major reason was because she did not give him the son and heir he needed. The second was because he had fallen in love with Anne Boleyn.

There were three reasons why Henry VIII wanted to divorce Catherine of Aragon.Their marriage was sinful as Catherine was married to Arthur, Henry's brother.He loved Anne Boleyn.He wanted a son.
Henry VIII married so quickly after his accession because for several reasons. After the death of Prince Arthur Catherine of Aragon did not have the best life. Her father did not give her any money and neither would her father in law-several of her letters to her father have survived. Another reason why Henry married so quickly was because he had been in love with her for years.
It was definitely a contributing factor mainly as in 1527 Charles V (Catherine of Aragon's nephew) imprisoned the Pope and as the Pope was the only person able to grant an annulment it was prevented due to Charles V.
One possible answer could be that Henry's infatuation with Anne Boleyn was the least important reason for his break with Rome. While his desire to marry Anne Boleyn and secure a male heir was certainly a factor, it was overshadowed by more significant reasons such as his desire for more power and control over the English Church, as well as his frustration with the Pope's refusal to grant him an annulment from his first wife, Catherine of Aragon.
Catherine didn't have a male heir for Henry and he had to insure that there was a male heir so the crown would stay within the Tutor family. His hold on the crown was tentative at best and there were others who had a better claim on the throne than he did. One reason the Catholic Church gave him such a hard time Catherine's uncle was pope and supported Catherine in her battle with Henry.
Prince Arthur of Wales (1486 - 1502) the first son of Henry VII, the first Tudor king, and Elizabeth of York, and Henry VIII's (1491 - 1547) older brother, died on 2 April 1502 at the age of 15. It is not completely clear what he died of, but it may have been consumption (TB). He was already married to Princess Catherine of Aragon (1485 - 1536) on 14 November 1501 - so they were married for only 5 months, but after he died, Catherine eventually became betrothed to Henry (they did not get married until 1509). Catherine had sworn that she was still a virgin after Arthur died, which was also confirmed by her lady companion, because the 15 year old Arthur had been weak and unwell throughout their marriage and unable to consummate the marriage. Arthur himself had made some jokes with his attendants which hinted that he HAD consummated the marriage, but this could have been just bravado on his part. As Catherine was considered to be a virgin, she had dispensation to marry her husband's brother, Henry. However, later, when Henry was trying every trick in the book to divorce Catherine, he laid great emphasis upon the fact that she was his brother's widow, and that he was being punished by God for marrying her, which was the reason for the number of miscarriages and stillbirths Catherine had suffered. Out of six pregnancies, they only had one surviving child, Mary. Doubt was therefore cast upon her virginity at the time of their marriage. Catherine continued to affirm that she had been a virgin, and went into court to fight for her honour, saying that the king knew the truth of it. As Catherine of Aragon was a very religious, honourable and gracious lady, it is easier to believe her evidence
Based on the information in the reading assignment, Lady Catherine de Bourgh would most likely agree with the reason Charlotte Lucas married Mr. Collins. Lady Catherine values social status and financial security above personal happiness, which is similar to Charlotte's practical approach to marriage.
No. He didn't hate the pope. He wanted to Divorce his 1st wife Catherin, but England was catholic at the time, and he couldn't annul the marriage without a real reason, so he broke away from the church and made England Protestant.
