Henry built the church of England after he divorced Catherine. the church of England was for protestants, so Henry built it so he could marry anne Boleyn.

Henry position within the Anglican Church was that of First layman! He was chief magistrate and his job was to see that the law was carried out! The Church was not above the Law and personally, I don't think it ever should be so!

But, the Catholic Church saw the King through the eyes of Scripture and Tradition, they saw the monarch as God's anointed and this was re-enforced , intentionally by the monarch's coronation. But the relationship which held between every European Monarch and his subjects, [this includes the Pope as erstwhile monarch in Northern Italy. [800/1870.] was fraught with danger .It was a constant struggle. The English Church knew it was over looked by Henry in his Chief Magistrate 's part, but they tied him down with a caveat, "as far as the law of Christ allows".
