Anglican Catholic Answer!
Henry sought an annulment, not a divorce! Neither did he seek one from a ,'Catholic,' source, he sought one from a bishop of the Suburbicarian Church of Rome!

Henry VIII. The Pope refused, so Henry made his own Church; the Church of England, and made himself the leader of it, allowing him to annul marriages whenever he liked. This eventually led to the Reformation in England
The English Reformation occurred in the 16th century when King Henry VIII wanted to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon to marry Anne Boleyn. When the Pope refused to annul the marriage, Henry broke away from the Catholic Church and established the Church of England with himself as the head. This led to the dissolution of the monasteries and a shift towards Protestantism in England.
He was very angry, He lost his temper and made himself the head of the church of England, and shut down all of the monastaries in England. The pope was really angry with Henry VIII.

Henry VIII founded the church of England in 1534 after he broke away from the Catholic Church. Henry wanted to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon but the Pope refused. Therefore Henry denounced Catholicism and passed the Act of Supremacy in 1534 CE.
Henry VIII had a total of four marriages annulled. First, he annulled his marriage to Catherine of Aragon in 1533. Henry VIII then had his marriage to Anne Boleyn annulled in May of 1536. Next, he annulled his marriage to Anne of Cleves in 1540. Henry's final marriage annulment occured in 1542, dissolving his marriage to Catherine Howard.
The Church of England, or Anglican Church
They were a part of the Anglican Church or Church of England that Henry VIII set up after the pope refused to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. The pilgrims became Puritans and then sailed over to the Americas because they did not agree with the secular practices of the Church of England. And did stuff!!
Henry did not leave the catholic church. He merely broke away from the control of the Pope in Rome and set himself up as head of the English (catholic) church. He did this so that he could annul his marriage to Katherine of Aragon, which the Pope refused to do, and thus leave him free to marry Ann Boleyn.because he wanted a divorce from his wife for not giving him an heir.
