The Church of England
English church ??
No, Henry VIII was never a pope. He did decide to name himself the leader of the Church of England, however.
Henry VIII split up from the pope to divorce his first wife Catherine of Aragon. At first Henry did ask the pope for the divorce but the pope refused. Henry decided to break away from the pope and name himself as the head of the Church of England so he didn't need permission to divorce Catherine
Henry VIII
The pope refused to grant Henry an annulment or divorce. Henry VIII then decided to split with the Church and became the head ('pope?') of the Anglican Church and granted himself a divorce.
The Protestant Church, however there are many sects of the Protestant church such as: Presbyterian, Baptist, and Methodist.
VIII is 8 in Roman Numerals, which means Henry VIII was the eighth King of England to be called Henry.
The church created by Henry VIII after his excommunication from the Catholic church was known as the "Church of England", and still exists to this day as a separate branch of Christianity.Anglican Catholic Answer!Sorry! Henry was not excommunicated from the Catholic Church. That he had some kind of domestic trouble and sought an annulment is true. What angered Henry is that the King of France had obtained one, cost a lot of money, but it was there . Possibly he wondered just what was wrong with English money that it couldn't buy him an annulment from the papacy?Regarding the Church of England! This was not created by Henry VIII, but had existed since Roman times, best part of 1500 yrs. Neither is it a separate branch of Christianity. It is a, 'particular church,' in England. Just as the Roman Church was a particular church in Italy, this existed from Rome down to the sea and covered all the three Islands. The Catholic Church is not a highly centralised body with its government in Rome, it is a federation of self governing churches, such as we see in the Eastern Church!
Henry VIII's father was called Henry Tudor - Henry VII of england.

Martin Luther created the Protestant Reformation to change the ways of the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Henry the VIII, who was a Catholic at the time, fell in love with a Protestant woman name Anne Boleyn. The Catholic Church did not grant Henry VIII his divorce with Catherine of Aragon, leading Anne Boleyn to convince her love that a new religious order will allow their marriage to be legit. Thus, Henry VIII created the Anglican Church, having the same aim as Luther: the Church needed to be reformed.
Jane Seymour was Henry VIII third wife.
