After being excommunicated by the Pope in 1533, Henry VIII initiated the English Reformation, which led to the dissolution of monasteries and the appropriation of Catholic Church lands and wealth. He enacted the Act of Supremacy in 1534, declaring himself the Supreme Head of the Church of England, which allowed him to seize church properties. This transfer of wealth significantly increased the Crown's resources and established a new religious structure separate from Rome.
not very well. from then on he went against Henry and Henry lost his title 'defender of the faith'!!:(
"Excommunication" The Pope can "excommunicate" a person from the Catholic Church. e.g. Henry VIII was excommunicated from the Catholic Church, because he changed the Church in England to Protestant.
No one. Queen Elizabeth was the daughter of King Henry VIII. King Henry couldn't have a son, so he broke away from the Roman Catholic church to form his own church, that allowed divorces. The Church of England was what Elizabeth was born into.
Henry VIII was excommunicated from the Catholic Church in 1533 after his break with Rome, primarily due to his desire to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. By the time of his death in 1547, he had established the Church of England, which retained some Catholic traditions but was distinct from the Roman Catholic Church. Although he maintained some Catholic practices, he was not considered a Catholic in the traditional sense at the time of his death.
You answered it yourself- Henry Viii - the Great Harry and a bad man in many ways.
Catholic Answer:The Anglican Church (Church of England) schismed from the Catholic Church because King Henry the VIII wanted an annulment but was not granted one by the Pope. After this King Henry VIII declared himself to be the true leader of the Church, and was then excommunicated by Pope Clement VII. As such the Anglican Church is not considered to have valid Sacraments or Apostolic Succession by the Catholic Church and does not have any more communion with the Catholic Church than any other Protestant ecclesial community.
When Henry became Head of the Church in England, he confiscated property which had previously belonged to the Catholic Church. The wealth then became part of the Royal Treasury.
Henry VIII did not form the Catholic Church. He actually broke away from the Catholic Church and formed the Church of England in 1534.
Most of the hospitals in England were operated by the Catholic Church. When Henry confiscated Catholic property and drove off the Catholics medical services deteriorated considerably in that country.
Henry the VIII was a good roman catholic but he then turned into a protestant (church of England.
The Reformation was because the pope wouldn't give him a divorce from Catherine so he left the Catholic Church and created his own church. He was able to take the Catholic Church property and funds which he liked.
He got excommunicated from The Roman Catholic Church. He was basically banned from being a catholic so supposedly his soul would be doomed to an eternity in hell.
