Church of England
It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. The Orthodox Churches separated from the Catholic Church in the 11th century in the Schism of the East.

King Henry VIII of England
Henry VIII was the first monarch to separate England from the Pope and the Catholic Church. As such he was the first Supreme Governor of the C of E.
It was approximately 1533 that Henry VII separated England from the catholic church headed by the pope and established the Anglican church, or church of England. Since it is currently 2009, the church is 476 years old.
He separated England from the Roman Catholic church and formed the Church of England - one where he was the head figure of the church, thus he was allowed to make his own rules.
Parliament might oppose a Catholic monarch due to historical conflicts between Protestantism and Catholicism, particularly in England, where the monarchy played a crucial role in the establishment of the Church of England. A Catholic monarch could potentially align the monarchy with the Catholic Church, undermining the established Protestant church and threatening the religious and political stability that had been hard-won after centuries of conflict. Additionally, there were fears that a Catholic ruler might prioritize the interests of Catholic nations, which could compromise national sovereignty and security.
During the rein of King Henry VIII, parliament passed the first Act of Supremacy. This act declared Henry VIII supreme head of the Church of England. This separated the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church of which the pope was leader.
