Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is rarely used by the Catholic Church.

First of all, there is no "Roman Catholic Church", that is a slur, in English, from after the protestant revolt, to refer to the Catholic Church. Secondly, Thomas Cromwell was tried by Henry VIII on charges of heresy and treason, and executed by King Henry VIII, himself a heretic, and an apostate from the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church had nothing to do with Thomas Cromwell.
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.
