Anglican Catholic Answer!
Henry didn't separate from the Catholic Church. There had been a schism in 1054 when the Pope broke with the Eastern ,[Orthodox,] Church.
For some two hundred or so years, there had been much dissatisfaction with the position of the pope within the Catholic Church. There had been several Councils caused to study and regularise the Bishop of Rome's position.What Henry did do was to appear to support the anti- papal line, that authority within the Catholic Church lies in the College of Bishops and the Seven Ecumenical Councils. This iis the Anglican Position even today!
Roman Catholic AnswerThe effects were dreadful. Many martyrs were created. Henry dissolved monasteries, confiscated Church property and tortured and killed all those who remained loyal to the Catholic Church and the Sacrifice of the Mass. He martyred priests, monks, nuns, and lay people. The effects were long lasting as the children of those heretics who deserted the Church to follow the crown were denied the sacraments, and many have been raised in the Church of England with no real knowledge of their historic faith.Wiki User
