Was Henry VIII jealous of the pope?

In: Popes, Henry VIII [Edit categories]

Answer:

No. He wasn't jealous of the pope. King Henry was married to Catherine of Aragon. He falls in love with Anne Boleyn and wants to marry her. He asks the pope to grant him a divorce, but the pope refuses because it was against the Catholic Church to get a divorce. After 7 years, Henry declares that the pope had no power over him and the pope excommunicates him. In 1534, Henry has parliament declare him the head of a new church, the Church of England, or the Anglican Church. This was a Protestant Church.
