Because although married to Catherine of Aragon, a Spanish princess, he fell in love with Anne Boleyn and wanted to marry her. England at that time was a Catholic country and the church and the bishops would not agree to a divorce. Henry's answer to that was to decide that England was no longer a Catholic country and he divorced Catherine to marry Anne.
Anne gave him a much wanted heir, but she gave birth to a daughter who became Elizabeth !- not good news to Henry and the Court, so Anne was sort of on the transfer list. It is disputed as to whether or not she committed adultery but in those days you didn't mess with Henry and Anne was beheaded at the Tower of London.
Those were the days......

Roman Catholic AnswerKing Henry VIII of England made no changes to the Catholic Church, he left the Church and established his own church in England: the Church of England. You got to be kidding. Henry the 8th razed all the monastaries and confiscated all the riches therein to fatten his coffers to finance his many wars.. He declared the Catholic religion to be outlawed and anybody who was caught practising was punished in ways we now think of as a sort of genocide. The whole of England practised what Henry said or you died. PERIOD

Religious changes king Henry 8th made?
Anglican Catholic Answer!He abolished the Monasteries and Nunneries, in that he abolished what was known as the religious life!Secondly and far more interesting is that while Henry didn't break from Rome, that's a fallacy, he and the Church in England, did point out that the papacy was regularly breaking the Canons or rules of the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church! He in doing so fell foul of the pope but preserved the English Church from joining the Catholic sect, formed at the Council of Trent! He should be remembered for this in a positive fashion if for nothing else!
