The Church of England Henry was a member of the Church of England, no more! It was not his Church and whilst he was Chief magistrate in this country and had some responsibility towards the Church at law, the Church was simply the Body of Christ in England at that time.
He was very much catholic. Henry the 8th created the church of England only to become head of the church to divorce his wife Catherine. The church of England had all the aspects of a catholic church except that the head of the church was the king of England and not the pope.
Henry V111 founded the church of England so that he could divorce his wife.
in 1534 Henry had parliament pass laws that created the church of England.
