Best Answer

While Henry VIII initially defended the faith, he became an adversary when it obstructed him from divorcing his wife, Catherine of Aragon. His failure to produce a male heir with her made him desperate for change. Through his insistence, Parliament enacted laws that curbed the influence of the Catholic Church and made Henry head of the Church of England.

For power because Henry wanted a lot of power and also the pope had more then him.

--------------------------The subject is complex. Henry didn't make many changes in the Church in England,he established it, but that was simply confirming what had been done in 312, by Constantine the Roman Emperor.

Henry's greatest effort was to put in place all the laws and restrictions that had been on the statute book for at least some 500 years. These laws were the ones inhibiting, or restricting the unwarranted actions of the papacy, regulations that restricted the Bishop of Rome from interfering in English Law by takng money out of the country illegally!

He wanted to be able to divorce and get rid of his wives at will, which the Catholic Church would not allow.
