Why did Henry VIII make himself head of the church?
Answer 1Henry and his wife, Catherine had a daughter but no son, this annoyed Henry because he wanted a son to take the throne when he died. Henry knew that the last time a king left the throne to his daughter there had been a civil war but time flew past and Catherine was too old to have any more children. Henry had been put off Catherine, and fell in love with Anne Boleyn but Henry could only divorce Catherine with the Pope's permission, the Pope did not agree. This left Henry with a problem, either wait for Catherine to die and not have a son or take over the English Church.Henry also made himself head of the English Church because the monasteries were worth a lot of money; and the church owned about a quarter of English land meaning a quarter of English land couldn't be taxed. Henry had spent a lot of money on wars in Europe, expensive clothes and food so he wanted to make up the loss by collecting those taxes.Finally, Henry made himself head of the English Church because he knew that previous kings had been unhappy with the amount of power the Pope had over the English church so he decided he wanted complete control over his country. Henry wanted power to divorce without the Pope's consent and in general Henry wanted more power over England's land.Answer 2Henry placed himself over the church because he had wanted to remarry due to his wife not giving a male heir. When the Catholic church told him that not having a male heir is not a reason to annul (in the Catholic faith, marriage is a contract, a promise, between G-d and the couple. This contract can not be broken by man. Thus, in rare cases an annulment can be granted- which means that there was never a marriage to begin w/.) the marriage. Rightfully so. King Henry did not like this. So, he placed himself as the head of the church and executed or imprisoned anyone that would not bow down to him, and recognize his new, self-imposed, role.
What does King Henry the VIII have to with the church?
He wants to get rid of his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, and needs an annulment. Catherine doesn't qualify for this though. So he kicks the pope out and starts his own church, making himself the head of it. Then he gives himself an annulment. - It was a little more complicated than that. It wasn't that Catherine didn't "qualify" for an annulment as much as it was the influence her nephew, Charles V, had over the Pope at that time, given that Charles had invaded Rome. Add to this the fact Henry was reading more and more materials written by Reformists that spoke about the degradations of the Catholic Church and of the Pope, and it was a perfect recipe to make Henry grab more power for himself.
