King Henry VIII wanted a divorce from Catherine Of Aragon, but the Pope wouldn't let him. So, he made his own church, the Anglican Church, and divorced Catherine. Problem solved ! The first biggest result of the church not understanding God's "New" Covenant Law of Marriage / Divorce www.BibleBomb.com
The above is the official Roman Catholic Church version. However, the historical record indicates that Henry spent most of his reign challenging the authority of Rome, and that the divorce issue was just one of a series of acts that collectively split the English church from the Roman church in much the same way that the Orthodox church had split off five hundred years before.
Anglican Catholic Answer!
Henry wanted an annulment not a divorce, the pope after fulfilling such a request from the King of France denied Henry because Katherine's nephew, the Emperor, was the pope's jailor!
Why did the Anglican Church separate from the Catholic Church? It didn't! The Pope was told by Henry that he had no right to interfere in English Church matters, because he was breaking the Canons of the Ancient Councils! The pope knew this and sulked on being reminded of his double dealing, breaking off communion with Henry, not with the Church in England! This was done some forty years after when the Bishop of Rome tried to interfere in English politics by means of a Roman Schism'[1570.] Thus causing a schism.
There was not at anytime a break from the Catholic Church, the Church in England was and still is a ,'Branch,' or Particular Church within the Body of Christ, the Break was from the Papacy and that is not by any means the Catholic Church!

The Anglican Church, despite being extremely similar to the Catholic Church in most respects, is nonetheless regarded by Catholicism as a heretical schism.
