This is partially the reason for the break with rome, he had spent vast ammounts of his inherited wealth that had been built up by his father on wars with France, and "partys", he knew that by breaking with Rome he would be able to claim the churches wealth + the submission of clergy act was another way for him to be able to claim said wealth. But other factors need to be taken into account, the Anne Boleyn love/lust angle. His conscience - leviticas 20:21 If a man marries his brother's wife, they shall die childless. He has done a ritually unclean thing and has disgraced his brother"
however he reverted to the Hebrew version which specified sons rather than daughters.
Also, to be taken into consideration is Anne's political influences and the rise of anti-clericalism And Anne showing him books which swayed Henrys train of thought towards an idea of a church of England.
Following the Act of Supremacy of 1534, Cromwell sent his minions to assess the value of the Catholic Church's properties then seized them. Two thirds of seized lands were sold to the laity and money was used to fight wars against France. Priceless ecclesiastical treasures were destroyed in obscene acts of vandalism.
Henry VIII broke away from the Catholic church in order to divorce Catherine of Aragon. When he broke away from the Catholic Church he lost several allies and trade connections which damaged his economy.
Money played a large roll in causing Henry VIII to split with Rome, along with the other causes; Love, Faith and Power.
Henry had spent all his late fathers (king Henry VII) money on expensive wars with france, he could not afford his big parties he was famous for.
During the split with rome Henry closed down all the monastries, he took their golds and riches and sold the land they were built upon. Henry once more was extremely rich and could spend his money on fine clothes, big parties and expensive food.
It undermined the power and authority of the pope.
chap 15 sec 3 hahah i got u umm...the answer i would say that he wanted to fight back with the chruch
Henry bullied an ecclesiastical council to make him the head of the Church in England which soon became the Church of England. Henry then granted himself an annulment to Katherine of Aragon and married Anne Boleyn.
Henry VIII.
The Roman Catholic Church.
Henry VIII wanted to break with Rome, but not the Catholic religion. The Church in England, at least during Henry's reign, remained Catholic in theology and liturgy. After the break and until Henry's death, the Protestant religion was still illegal in England.
When the pope refused to grant Henry VIII a divorce, he decided to break with Rome and appointed himself as the head of the church in England.
He made is own church and his own rules and made his own church which is known as the church of England!
He opposed Henry VIII's break from the Catholic Church.
because the pope would not grant him a divorce
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.
He opposed Henry VIII's break from the Catholic Church.
