∙ 15y agoAt the time Henry 8th ruled England the Catholic church was the dominant religion in the country. Henry wanted to divorce his wife and marry another woman. The Catholic church was against Henry's desire so did not give him permission. He split with the church and created The Church Of England, putting himself as head of the church. He was then able to divorce and remarry.
As a point of interest little has change in the way both churches are run. except that whoever is monarch of England they also become head of the church. Contrary to the above... The Head of the Church of England is not the monarch. The Head of the Church of England is, and always has been, Jesus Christ. Henry VIII designated himself 'supreme governor' of the Church of England, which is a far cry from 'head'. In what remains of the British Empire, any colony still part of the empire is run by a Governor. However, that governor is still subject to the Queen as head of the Empire and commonwealth. In the same way, by designating himself 'supreme governor' Henry still recognised that he was governor, but still subject to the Head of the Church - Christ. The spiritual leader, by the way, is the Archbishop of Canterbury. Finally, again contrary to the above, the divorce of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn was a convenient co-incidence, and spark that finalised the split with Rome. The protestant movement had already spread across Europe, beginning in Germany under Martin Luther who 'protested' at the corruption of the Church - especially in its issuing of indulgences. In England there was already great dissent about the Catholic Church, and great sympathy for the protestants, and so Henry's excommunication from the Church and his argument with the pope was a natural progression of this movement - and would probably still have happened, divorce or no divorce.

∙ 13y agoThe Catholic Church divide several times, of which three are important.
The first of these was the Great Schism or East-West Schism, which divided the main body of the Christian Church into the Roman Catholic Church in the West and the Eastern Orthodox Church in the East. This happened because the Western Church wanted the pope recognized as supreme in the Church, and the Eastern Church refused to recognize this.
The second important division was the Schism of the West. This resulted from attempts by kings and emperors to have control of the Roman Catholic Church and the attempts of the popes to deny this. The result of this was a temporary situation in which there were two claimants to be pope simultaneously, recognized by different monarchs. The Church was reunited through its own efforts.
The third division was when the Protestants, who were upset over corruption in the Roman Catholic Church and at odds with it theologically, withdrew from it and form various sects.
