Why did Henry VII want parliament to dissolve England's ties to the catholic church?

Henry didn't want parliament to dissolve England's ties to the Catholic Church! Both Henry and the Church in England were catholics as was parliament! What he wanted was to control or indeed abolish the Pope's insatiable greed for English money with which to finance his political adventures and his desires to increase the spiritual claims or phantasy's of the Roman See. Henry had no intention of poaching on the spiritual preserves of the catholic Church. The question lay with boundary between the Catholic Tradition as defined by Revelation, Scripture and Holy Tradition and Tradition as put forward by the Roman Court which many felt was made up to suit the needs of the day! The Pope's refusal to face tradition in the matter of the the Canons of the Seven Ecumenical Councils and of English law,is what caused the break, the decision of the English Church to take a stand against additions to the Revelation of Christ and against innovations.
