Anglican Catholic Answer
It isn't quite the answer I would give!
Henry, as every head of of State is, was the head of the Church, of that there is no doubt. But he was only the head so far as the Law of Christ allows. That's according to the Church in England at that time. [ 1533AD. ] Without this proviso you would be sending a distorted message. The Head of the Church in England was Christ, the Church was His Mystical Body and His Deputy on Earth was the Holy Ghost!
