England was mainly catholic with the Pope in Rome head of the church. When Henry III fell out with the Pope over divorces, Henry broke off from Rome, and Protestantism became the official religion in England, with Henry III as head of the new church. This led to the Dissolution of the Monasteries and other catholic religious buildings. Many can still be seen as ruins in Britain today.

∙ 11y agoHenry VIII was Catholic for the first part of his life, until he wanted a new wife and the Pope pointed out that he was already validly married. So he apostatised from the Church and, with the forced approval of his government made up his own "church" which was protestant but with Catholic trappings. The government under his son finished the job of making the new Church of England completely protestant.

Wrong. Read your history books again. To wit: in 1534 it was declared that the king be "the only supreme head on earth of the Church in England" in place of the pope. No catholics allowed.
