Henry III did not create the Church of England. He reigned from 1216-1272. You are probably thinking of Henry VIII. Even he could not really said to have created the Church of England. The proper spadework came in his daughter Elizabeth I's reign.

The church created by Henry VIII after his excommunication from the Catholic church was known as the "Church of England", and still exists to this day as a separate branch of Christianity.Anglican Catholic Answer!Sorry! Henry was not excommunicated from the Catholic Church. That he had some kind of domestic trouble and sought an annulment is true. What angered Henry is that the King of France had obtained one, cost a lot of money, but it was there . Possibly he wondered just what was wrong with English money that it couldn't buy him an annulment from the papacy?Regarding the Church of England! This was not created by Henry VIII, but had existed since Roman times, best part of 1500 yrs. Neither is it a separate branch of Christianity. It is a, 'particular church,' in England. Just as the Roman Church was a particular church in Italy, this existed from Rome down to the sea and covered all the three Islands.

Where did the Church of England religion begin?

When the king of England wanted a divorce and the Catholic church wouldn't let him.More SpecificallyHenry VIII was married to Catherine of Aragon, but he wanted to marry Anne Boleyn. In 1534, when the Pope refused to grant permission for a divorce, Henry decided that he would start a new church, with himself as head and asked himself "can I have a divorce please?" And he answered himself "Yes, of course". Since then, every monarch has been styled 'Supreme Head of the Church of England' AnswerIt started when King Henry VIII of England wanted to divorce his wife and remarry.The Roman Catholic Church (which had previously been the mainstay of previous British Royalty) strictly forbade divorce.So King Henry decided he should start his own church and call it the Church of England.Of course, in the end, he married 8 wives and had them be-headed when he wanted to remarry each time!AnswerKing Henry VIII wanted a divorce, and the Pope would not grant him one, having already granted him an annulment from his previous wife. The bishops in England had been wanting reforms for some time, which they had not been able to persuade either the Pope or the king to pass; Henry VIII had in fact been granted the title Defender of the Faith, for supporting the Catholic Church against Protestant reformers. When circumstances changed, the king got the divorce he wanted, and the bishops the reforms they wanted, in establishing the Church of England.AnswerKing Henry the VIII wanted to divorce his lawful wife and marry another woman, but the Catholic Church said it was wrong to divorce a wife.He wanted to be considered 'holy' and be married in a church, so he started his own church.King Henry also sought the approval of his friend Saint Thomas Moore, whom he knew was a good man and held honour and respect in England.

What are facts about the Church of England?

The church of England was created when people thought the roman catholic church wasn't teaching the ways of the bible the way the lord wanted, especially Martin Luther (a catholic Priest). He nailed all the things he thought was wrong with the catholic way of teaching on the door of his church, e.g. reading the bible in Latin and encouraging indulgences. Henry VIII was the one to create the official protestant church, the C of E, however on his death bed he still declared himself a catholic. Even though Henry created the church of England, his son Edward made the most changes to the religion. He translated all the bibles into the worshippers language so that everyone could understand the bible, before this it was illegal to translate a bible and if you did you would be executed so it was a big step doing this. He also stripped the churches of colour and riches so that people could concentrate on god. 3 in ten people attend a Sunday church service each week 1.7 million people take part in a Church of England service each month


Did Henry VIII think the church was in the wrong?

Not really. He did not care about right or wrong, he just wanted a boy and his wife had not given him one. When he requested a divorce so he could marry someone else, the Catholic church refused to grant it as required by their doctrine.


What were Henrys VII reigious belifes and why did they change?

Henry VIII was a Roman catholic, but changed the church to Protestant for 4 main reasons, love, power, money and religion, so Henry VII must have been Roman Catholic at the end of his reign. If he changed the religion, it was probably because of the preasure put on hime by the Romans. However, I thought that Henry VIII changed the church first, and Henry VII didn't. Just in case you made a typing error, Henry VIII changed the church to divorce Catherine of Aragon and marry Anne bolynn, which the church wouldn't allow. He also needed the money he would make from church taxes and selling the land previosly owned by the monastrys to pay for his wars in France. They also owned beautiful treasures of gold and silver which Henry could sell. Henry thought that the Pope in Rome had too much power over England, changing the church would lessen this. He would become popular with the protestants, and hold the power of the church himself. Anne Bolynn came from a protestant family, and changing the church would please her and her family. Sorry if I am wrong and Henry VII did change the church
