Henry the 8th simply wanted a divorce or annulment. He wished to marry Anne Boleyn. The catholic church (Vatican) did not see his marriage to Catherine of Aragon in the same way he did. Simply put, he decided that he was king...what he said was law... and he wanted to marry Anne. He decided not to let the Catholic Church have any say in what happened in his kingdom. He refused the Catholic church's authority, and it was this action that formed the Church Of England.
