he wanted to get lots of money by owning the land and also gaining power
Because he wanted the money because he had fought many expensive wars and didn't have very much money left 1.Religion- when Henry was a catholic, the pope didn't believe in divorce, and of course this was a problem for Henry, so he made the church of England. He might of not liked the monks (as they were catholic) so he shut them down. 2.Economics- as Henry fought many expensive wars, he had no money left, so by shutting down the monastries, he gained lots of land and property which resulted in lots of money. 3.The monks- the monks weren't being true to their religion, they are supposed to live a solitary life on their own. However they were caught sleeping with women wearing no clothes, others had wives and children and others were even theives! So Henry had even more reason to shut them down.
Thomas, although he was Henry's close friend, refused to let him change the rules.
to be able to take money from the church, Henry had to close the catholic church and monasteries to take away their money. To be able to close the monasteries Henry needed a reason, so, he bad mouthed the catholics by saying that they believed in the wrong things and that they were greedy. By saying that, he then had the power (as king) to close, burn and take all the money from the churches and monasteries. written by lucian thomas :-p

The exact date of the closing of the monasteries is unknown. Although, we do know that it was in 1534-1535.

Thomas Cromwell Helped Henry VIII To Close The Monasteries :-)Anglican Catholic Answers!Thomas was the Vice Regent of England, he was dealing with the Kings business and in a practical way was I suppose the managing director, of Tudor Eng, U.K.Thomas masterminded the whole business and pulled all the strings being responsible for all those good Catholic Men, who moved about England firstly taking stock and assessing what was on offer from the Monasteries and various buildings then giving orders. It was in the main the King who disposed of the wealth and again the people who benefited from the whole mess were catholics!
i dont know ask someone else
he sent inspectors to go and find things wrong with the monasteries so they would have to close down
Henry VIII really closed up the monasteries because they were both rich and powerful institutions that were very loyal to the Popes. The Pope was seen as an opponent to Henry and by closing the monasteries, Henry was then viewed as the Head of the Church.
