It was Henry VIII that created a new church. He broke from the Catholic Church and renounced his loyalty to the Pope because he wanted to be able to divorce his wife, Catherine of Aragon [as she could not produce a male heir, and he was supposedly truly in love with Anne Boleyn] and the Church did not allow for 'divorce' if the marriage had been consummated. Basically, Henry's plan was to proclaim all loyalty to the crown, so he could make his own rules. His new Church of England allowed for divorce so he was able to separate from Catherine and marry Anne Boleyn.

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.
