Why did Henry VIII make the break with rome?
Henry VIII was a king from the Tudor era. He is mainly known for having 6 wives. He also started the Church of England and broke with the Roman Catholic Church. We are going to take a closer look at why Henry broke with Rome and how significant money was when breaking with Rome. Henry had just fought in a war against France. He had splashed the cash on all the latest weapons. This cost Henry a lot of money and Henry needed money soon. The Church was incredibly rich at that time. To Henry it made sense to take over the church and take its money. The pope was also taking all the taxes people would give in tithes and offerings. Henry 'needed' the money so he could spend it on the war. Henry was married to Catherine of Aragon at this time but she had failed to give him a son. Henry wanted a son to take over power from him when he died. Henry thought God was punishing him for marrying his brother's widow. He also loved Anne Boleyn and was sure she would give him a son. Before he could even think about marring Anne he would have to divorce Catherine. If he did he would need permission from the Pope. The Holy Roman Empire controlled the Pope and his decisions. The leader of the Holy Roman Empire was related to Catherine of Aragon and did not want to let the family down by letting his relative get divorced. This obviously did not please Henry. If Henry wanted to divorce Catherine than he would have to do something about this situation. If he took over the church he could get a divorce whenever he wanted. The monks and nuns where not living very holy lives. They were greedy and sinful. They were stealing money and wine. This was a big problem that needed thinking about. Henry knew that if the monasteries remained open that he would be 'the king who let down England'. This would not be good as he thought of himself as the most powerful king. He could not intervene with the monasteries as they were under the church's protection. If Henry took over the Catholic church than he could solve the problem. This is another reason why he broke with the church. Henry longed for power. That was all he ever wanted. The church was also the most powerful thing there was at that time. It could make decisions for you and you could not change that decision. Henry longed for that amount of power. If he took over the church he could have that amount of power and use that power whenever he wanted to.
What was Henry VIII like?
Henry VIII was the youngest son of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. He was spoiled as a child because his brother, Arthur, was heir to the throne. That changed when Arthur died as a teenager. Henry was then pushed into the role of his dead brother. Henry married his brothers widow Catherine of Aragon not long after his fathers death and the two were crowned at Westminster.As a young king he was thin, athletic, very intelligent, and red headed. Henry had a love for sports including tennis, jousting, and hunting. Henry was fluent in French, Latin, and Spanish. He had many horses, dogs, and falcons. And was also a lover of music and poetry.Henry went to war several times through out his reign. Mostly with France and Scotland. He increased the British Navy from 5 ships to 53 ships.Henry is most remembered for his liasons and wives. Henry married 6 times. He beheaded two wives, divorced two wives, one died, and one survived.Henry also created the Church of England when the Pope refused to grant him a divorce from Catherine on the basis that it had never been valid.Henry was in desperate need for a male heir and that as most of his reasoning for his divorces. He ended up having one illigetament son, Henry Fitzroy. Two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth. And one son, Edward. Henry Fitzroy would die of the sweat as a child. And all three other children inherited the throne. None of which would have any children of there own.Henry was said to have had several other children out of wedlock but never chose to acknowledge them.To some, Henry VIII was a strong and ruthless ruler.An opposing opinion would be that Henry the 8th was a fat, blood thirsty man as he killed two of his wives and many of his friends.
Why did King Henry VIII want to stop the inquisition from happening in England?
Henry wasn't concerned about the Inquisition, he wanted to secure his authority and the succession to the throne. His breach with Rome wasn't about doctrine - at his death little had changed in Church practice - it was about re-marrying, and later (after he'd gotten a taste for heading his own Church) about power. He'd probably have gotten around to having his own Inquisition had the need arisen, he was that kind of king.

Why did the pope need to make an exeption for Henry VIII to marry catherin?
The Pope had to give Henry and Catherine a dispensation in order for them to get married because Catherine had been the wife of Henry's brother Arthur. The Pope had to write two of them. The reason behind that was because it was not known wither Catherine and Arthur had consummated their marriage. They were only 15 and he died several months later so the Pope just wanted to cover his bases.
