Best Answer

Henry VIII really closed up the monasteries because they were both rich and powerful institutions that were very loyal to the Popes. The Pope was seen as an opponent to Henry and by closing the monasteries, Henry was then viewed as the Head of the Church.

Henry VIII viii and the monasteries?

to be able to take money from the church, Henry had to close the catholic church and monasteries to take away their money. To be able to close the monasteries Henry needed a reason, so, he bad mouthed the catholics by saying that they believed in the wrong things and that they were greedy. By saying that, he then had the power (as king) to close, burn and take all the money from the churches and monasteries. written by lucian thomas :-p
