Both Henry and the Church in England were catholics as was parliament!
What he wanted was to control or indeed abolish the Pope's insatiable greed for English money with which to finance his political adventures and his desires to increase the spiritual claims or phantasy's of the Roman See. Henry had no intention of poaching on the spiritual preserves of the catholic Church. The question lay with boundary between the Catholic Tradition as defined by Revelation, Scripture and Holy Tradition and Tradition as put forward by the Roman Court which many felt was made up to suit the needs of the day! The Pope's refusal to face tradition in the matter of the the Canons of the Seven Ecumenical Councils and of English law,is what caused the break, the decision of the English Church to take a stand against additions to the Revelation of Christ and against innovations.

∙ 13y agoEngland became a part of the reformation more through politics than theological debate. King Henry VIII (1509-47) needed an heir to the throne and with his wife was unable to produce one. The Pope would not grant a divorce and so Henry convinced Parliament to declare him head of the Church in England. Henry's daughter, Mary Tudor was a staunch Catholic and persecuted the Protestants. When Henry's other daughter, Elizabeth, inherited the throne, she tolerated the Protestants just enough so as not to irritate the Pope. When the English fleet defeated the Spanish Armada in 1588, the Anglican Church permanently replaced the Catholic one in England.
(Below is an excerpt from the biography of Henry VIII)
In 1534 Henry VIII was declared head of the English Church. People had to swear an oath that in future they would obey Henry as head of the church. More refused and he was convicted of high treason. Still refusing to recant, he was executed at the Tower of London on 6 July 1535.
The Pope and the Catholic church in Rome were horrified when they heard the news that Henry had destroyed St. Thomas Becket's Shrine. On 17 December 1538, the Pope announced to the Christian world that Henry VIII had been excommunicated from the Catholic church.
