Henry VIII was not involved in any conflict between Protestants and Catholics. As far as he was concerned he changed the "Church of Rome" under the Pope into the "Church of England" under himself. He went after the monasteries, convents and churches of the Catholic church because of their riches that he confiscated for himself, using as a pretext that he suspected them of remaining loyal to the Pope.
Gradually, the Church of England came to be considered as a "Protestant" religion, basically because of its opposition to the Catholic church and because - just as the Lutherans and Calvinists - it had started to revert to 'Bible-based' instead of 'Church teaching'-based religion. Henry's daughter Elisabeth saw herself clearly in the Protestant camp; Henry himself saw himself just as 'anti-Pope'.
