Why did England form a new church and how did the catholic church reform itself?

During the reign of Henry VIII the English Catholic Church separated from Rome and Henry was made Head of the Catholic Church which was renamed the Church of England. This was because Henry needed a divorce from his wife who could not give him a male heir, and the Pope would not annul the marriages. After Henry's death the church was engilfed in conflict as to the nature of the new church, many wanted to reform the church away from Catholicism and adopt the new Protestant ideas coming from within England and Europe. The Puritans wanted a complete removal of all traces of Rome as an example. During the reign of Elizabeth I a compromise was reached where the Church of England retained some Catholic practices and dopted some Protestant reforming ideas. The new faith evolved as the Anglican faith which remains to this day a unique mix of both Catholic and Protestant.
