Anglican Catholic View!
The Anglican Church is clearly one of the oldest churches certainly in the West, but probably outside Palestine! You have also to remember that the Anglican Church is simply the ancient Catholic Church in Britain. There's no way that Henry had any thing at all to do with creating it! If you doubt my word look at the list of early christian fathers who grant an early provenance. S.Simon Zelotes is one person who is named as bringing Christianity here, S.Joseph of Arimathea is another while S.Aristobulos is named as the Fist Bishop of Britain, or the Church in Britain! What Henry did do, whether he did it intentially or not is a debatable point, but Henry's fall out with the Bishop of Rome, for whatever reason failed to get the English Catholics an invite to the robber council of Trent and preserved them from joining the new Holy Roman Church and becoming a catholic sect!
Henry VIII was the King of England from 1509 to 1547. His job as king was to make the major decisions regarding the governance of his territory, as well as function as the head of the Anglican church.
Church of England
The primary religion of England is the Church of Englad or Anglican which is an off shoot of the Catholic iinstitution, which began under Henry the V111.
Henry V111 founded the church of England so that he could divorce his wife.
Henry V111 built a church because he could not get a divorce through the Roman Catholic Church, from his first wife, Katharine of Aragon.
Basically at the time only the catholic church existed and when Henry wanted to get a divorce, the church refused. This resulted in him creating the Protestant church (notice the word protest) as a protest against the roman Catholics.
The Act of Supremacy made Henry VIII the head of England's church for the duration of his reign.
Yes there was. Henry V111 (Elizabeth's father) had renounced Roman catholicism. The main religion was Church of England
