Henry VIII changed the permitted church from Catholic to Church of England when he could not get the Pope to agree to divorce. He wanted an heir to the throne and his longtime wife could not provide one.

==============Henry did not make a Church in England and he certainly didn't make the C. of E., The Church was in Britain from a very early age and was simply a communion of catholics within the Body of Christ. The Catholic Church. He didn't make any deep changes, he simply insisted that the Church return to the early catholic teachings of the Apostolic Succession and the Ecumenical Councils of the first thousand years.

As regards the first notice, Henry didn't seek a divorce, he sought an annulment!

The current Church of England dates to Henry VIII dissolution of the monasteries. There have been many Churches of England that date back far before this, however the current C of E dates to Henry. His daughter Elizabeth was instrumental in furthering the strength of the Anglican faith as the primary faith in England. This time period is often referred to as the English Reformation.

After the Pope excommunicated Henry, he established the Church of England:

In 1533, Henry went ahead anyway and married Anne Boleyn, with whom he had a daughter, Elizabeth. The pope excommunicated him, and parliamentary legislation confirmed Henry's decision to break with Rome. With the help of Wolsey's replacement, Thomas Cromwell, Henry established himself as head of the Church of England and ordered the dissolution of the monasteries

This represented a huge break with the Church in Rome, not a minor dispute and is viewed as the starting point for the C of E. The current C of E is not Catholic, although there are many similarities between High Anglican and Catholic services.

Henry VIII started the Anglican / Church of England, where Henry VIII was the head of the church (much like the Pope).

Why did Henry VIII make the protestant church?

Henry would have had little time for Protestants. He was aware of a reformist movement in the English Catholic Church trying to introduce theoligical elements based on the new protestant doctrine. When Henry VIII came to the throne, he was a devout Catholic and defended the Church against them. Henry VIII did not agree with their views. In 1521, Pope Leo X honoured Henry VIII with the title "Defender of Faith', because of his support for the Roman Church. When the Pope refused to grant Henry VIII an annulment from Catherine of Aragon, Henry split the English Church from the Roman church. Rather than the pope, the king would be the spiritual head of the English church. Reformest elements in the English Church at that time gave him support.King Henry VIII declared himself supreme head of a new Church of England. (The Act of Supremacy). This marked the start of centuries or religious conflict in Britain. It is a common misconception, particularly amongst Americans, that Henry VIII became a "Protestant" and turned England overnight into a Protestant country.

What was the religion when Henry VIII became a king?

King Henry the Eighth was unsatisfied with the decisions the pope wouldn't let him make, therefore forming the belief of Anglicanism. He switched the rules of Catholicism to his liking so he could finally get the male heir he had been longing for. Henry did not form any religion, he was a Catholic and a member of the Church in England. What he did do, along with the English Church was to tell the pope that when he interfered in another bishop's see , the pope was breaking the rules and traditions of the Holy Catholic Church!
