Henry VIII broke with the church because the Pope refused to grant him a divorce from Katherine of Aragon. He desired a divorce so that he would be free to marry Anne Boleyn, who he believed would produce a male heir. Queen Katherine was beyond childbearing years. The combination of Queen Katherine not producing a living male heir and Henry's passion for Anne Boleyn drove him to break with the church.
