Why did Henry vlll breat away from the catholic church?

Henry the VIII left the Catholic Church by his own choice, because the Church would not give him an annulment from his first wife to marry Ann Boleyn. He wanted to annul his first marriage in the hope that he could get a son from Ann Boleyn. After he left the Catholic Church, and started the Church of England, with him as the head of the Church, he married Ann Boleyn, but, he never got the son he wanted from her, and she had her beheaded and married again and again in hope of getting a male heir. It would end in failure, and Ann Boleyn's daughter would eventually become Queen of England.

Yes, they call them bishops, priests, and deacons, after the Catholic Church. When Henry VIII separated from the Holy Father and formed his own personal Church, which he then imposed on the nation, most of the people making his church up were very protestant in their leanings, but, probably to avoid causing an uproar in a Catholic population which did not want to leave the Church, they left externals as much as possible with their heretical beliefs.
