it changed England. by going from the roman catholic church, and it allowed Henry to marry anne Boleyn

Anglican Catholic Answer!

If Henry's matrimonial struggles changed England it was because eventually it brought to the throne one of the most fiercely intelligent women of that age. It brought to as far as I can tell, Queen Jane and her Cousin Elizabeth!

Sadly, Jane was executed at Mary Tudor's insistence, whilst Elizabeth who was one of the most intelligent women in Europe kept the country from Civil War anf from unnecessary foreign entanglments!

Henry's wedding tangle had another result, it brought the Church in England to refuse to sing from the same hymn sheet than the Roman one! For several hundred years the Churches in Europe had sought to limit the range of the Bishop of Rome's authority to that of revelation, scripture and tradition. Under Henry, the Church in England refused the Pope, or the Bishop of Rome, permission to do just that! It shocked all Europe! Never-the-less the Pope had ignored the Canons of the Catholic Church in his theological and political adventures. Henry's actions had forced the Anglican Catholics to take stop and take sides. They rejected the papacy and followed the old paths and the Pauline injunctions to ,'Keep the Deposit.'
