Yes

Another answer:

Henry VIII himself did not "break away" from the Catholic Church.

Henry VIII was a devout Catholic who was awarded the title of "Defender of the Faith" by Pope Leo X after publishing his "Defence of the Seven Sacraments".

Despite taking the English Catholic Church away from the authority of Rome and declaring himself Head of the newly formed Church of England, he and the Church, to some extent, remained Catholic.

True Protestant reforms would come after he died.
