During the time King Henry VIII was trying to get rid of his wife, Catherine of Aragon, the Protestant Reformation was going on. Unable to obtain an annulment from the Pope, establishing Protestantism as the primary religion of England, and putting himself as the head of the church, worked to Henry's advantage. When his son, Edward, took the throne, Catholic holy icons, fancy dress and celebration of the saints were banned. When his sister, Mary came to the throne, however, Catholicism was restored, and Mary proceeded to deal harshly with the Protestants. When her sister, Elizabeth I ascended the throne, Protestantism was brought back, firmly establishing it, rather than Catholicism, as the religion of Britain.

∙ 7y agoHenry VIII broke apart from the Roman Catholic Church and made himself head of the Church in order to divorce his wife, and in doing so he made it protestant.
I would say that would be with ElizabethI as it was briefly ruled by her sister who was staunch Roman Catholic. Since Elizabeth however, the Royal family has been Church of England. However I am sure that those who are Roman Catholic would not agree with it being called a "Protestant Country" as there are also many, many Catholics there and it is not against the law to be such , as it may have been in times past.

∙ 9y agoThe first step of England's shift to Protestantism was Henry VIII's break from the Catholic church. Henry wanted to divorce his wife, Catherine of Aragon, so he denounce Catholicism and founded the church of England. His son Edward VI continued Protestantism but had a short rule. He died in 1553 and his older sister Mary took the throne. Mary was Catholic and persecuted protestants in England. Her reign ended when she died in 1558. Her sister Elizabeth I took the throne and reinstated Protestantism.

∙ 12y agoWhen Henry VIII split with the Catholic Church because the pope would not approve an annulment or divorce from Catherine of Aragon, Henry formed his own church and named himself as the head. It became a Protestant Church. To be considered as a Catholic Church a religion must demonstrate the four marks of the Church as established by the Nicene Creed - One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. Once Henry separated his church lost the "One" as the Church of England was no longer "one" with the pope. To deny the Pope is to express a heresy as far as the Catholic Church is concerned.
