I don't believe King Henry VIII actually abandoned the entirety of the Catholic faith. However, he did have a major disagreement with the Catholic Pope at the time regarding permissible grounds for divorcing his wife. The disagreement escalated to the point that King Henry VIII schismed from the Catholic Church and founded the Church of England, which permitted him to divorce his wife. However, in most other respects the Church of England's theological teachings and the Catholic Church's theological teachings were very similar.

Did King Henry VIII brake away from the catholic church?

Yes Another answer: Henry VIII himself did not "break away" from the Catholic Church. Henry VIII was a devout Catholic who was awarded the title of "Defender of the Faith" by Pope Leo X after publishing his "Defence of the Seven Sacraments". Despite taking the English Catholic Church away from the authority of Rome and declaring himself Head of the newly formed Church of England, he and the Church, to some extent, remained Catholic. True Protestant reforms would come after he died.
