Henry the VIII left the Catholic Church by his own choice, because the Church would not give him an annulment from his first wife to marry Ann Boleyn. He wanted to annul his first marriage in the hope that he could get a son from Ann Boleyn. After he left the Catholic Church, and started the Church of England, with him as the head of the Church, he married Ann Boleyn, but, he never got the son he wanted from her, and she had her beheaded and married again and again in hope of getting a male heir. It would end in failure, and Ann Boleyn's daughter would eventually become Queen of England.
