Henry VIII seized Catholic Church lands in England primarily to assert his authority and establish the English Reformation. His desire for an annulment from Catherine of Aragon, which the Pope refused, led him to break from the Catholic Church and create the Church of England. By appropriating church lands and wealth, he aimed to strengthen his own power, reduce papal influence, and secure financial resources for the crown. This move also garnered support from the rising Protestant sentiment and local nobility who benefited from the redistribution of land.
In several ways. Firstly, church lands were nationalized, as per the revolutionary ideals of separation of church and state. The lands were then sold. The revolutionary government attempted to expand their control over the economy by selling government bonds, which eventually replaced the national currency. Unfortunately, they became almost worthless and rampant inflation destroyed the french economy until it was later stabilized.
The Mission Santa Clara de Asis system was secularized in the 1830s, meaning authority over the mission lands was transferred from the Catholic Church to the Mexican government. The lands were later returned to the Catholic Church, and today the mission operates as a parish church and a university campus.

Napoleon did not fully return church lands to the pope and clergy after the French Revolution. Instead, he established the Concordat of 1801, which recognized Catholicism as the religion of the majority while maintaining state control over church appointments and property. Although some church lands were returned, many remained in state hands, and the Catholic Church's power was significantly curtailed under Napoleon's regime.
When Henry VIII left the Catholic Church, he gained significant political and financial advantages. Firstly, he established the Church of England, which allowed him to consolidate religious authority under his control, diminishing the power of the Pope and the Catholic Church in England. Secondly, by seizing church lands and wealth, he significantly increased the crown's revenue, enabling him to fund his military campaigns and strengthen his monarchy.
