Henry VIII never broke away from the Catholic Church. He was born a Catholic and died a Catholic. The church in England at that time was Catholic and remained so after his death. An act or Parliaments called the Act of Supremacy made Henry head of the Catholic church in England instead of the Pope in Rome. It is the break with Rome of the English Catholic Church for which Henry is remembered. It also gave Henry the opportunity to annul his marriage to Catherine
The Act of Supremacy of November 1534 (26 Hen. 8, c. 1) was an Act of the Parliament of England under King Henry VIII declaring that he was "the only supreme head on earth of the Church in England" and that the English crown shall enjoy "all honours, dignities, preeminences, jurisdictions, privileges, authorities, immunities, profits, and commodities to the said dignity.".[1] By the wording of the Act, it was made clear that Parliament was not granting the King the title (thereby suggesting that they had the right to later withdraw them) but rather it was stated as a recognized fact. In the Act of Supremacy, Henry abandoned Rome completely. He then went on to found a new church called Ecclesia Anglicana.
Answer by a CatholicI don't believe that it was his greed that caused Henry VIII to break with Rome, I believe that it was his desire for a legitimate heir. As Rome would not allow him an annulment, saying that his marriage to his wife, Catherine, was valid, he could not "put her away" and marry his mistress. His "greed", if you will, overcame him after he made himself head of the Church of England.

Roman Catholic AnswerLuther's teachings did NOT cause a split in the Catholic Church. Luther's teachings tore many people away from the Church due to the rulers who wanted to be free of constraints they were under in the Catholic Church. When a prince apostatised from the faith, his people better go with him! Luther's teachings did spark the counter-Reformation which caused a flowering of religious vocations, new religious orders, and great fervor in the Catholic people.
