There was never a pope of England
Henry made the break with the pope (who lives in rome) as the pope refused for him to get a divorce from catherine of aragon, who failed to produce a male heir. the catholic faith at that time forbidded a man or a woman to divorce one another, but this all changed when Henry decided to open up a new church with him as its leader 'the church of England.' this church was a protestant. some historians also believd that the break with rome had financial implications. Henry needed money ant the catholic church had it!
Anglican Catholic Answer!
True enough ,no pope of England but there was an English Bishop of Rome !
Henry didn't ,'make the break with Rome,' it was infact Rome that broke with Henry over Catherine of Aragon, quite a different thing, d'ye see! It was the papacy that scored a home goal in doing so! He couldn't give Henry an annulment because the German Emperor had the Pope bottled up and in gaol, he was also Catherine's nephew!
No matter how much we hear of this business at that time, it was not a thing regarding religion was a fraca between two rulers! Two things changed the scenario, one was that the pope took umbrage at an English Church pointing out about the Pope disregarding the ancient canons and the fact that amongst the wider Church for some two or three hundred years there had been ongoing attempts to curb the Pope's authority! Now there was a whole new game to play! The Pope wasn't pleased. He'd been trying to narrow the goal posts and Henry had set them at the width of the field.
What is quite interesting is that the Convocation of the English Church took time out in the early days of the Reformation in England to put out markers affirming its beliefs in The Seven Ecumenical Councils, [more or less.] 1536/7 /46. This was a direct challenge to the papacy, authority was being taken out of Rome's hands and put back where they were in early scripture, in Acts, that is in the hands of the College of Bishops.
