According to standard history, King Henry VIII wanted to divorce Catherine of Aragone and the Pope refused to allow him to divorce. He was very upset and decided to thumb his nose at the Pope and divorced her anyway. He did not really create a new church, because all the churches continued as before-there weren't new clergy ordained or new churches or cathedrals built to replace the Roman Catholics in England.

Why did England split from the Roman Catholic Church?
Catholic Answer:The Anglican Church (Church of England) schismed from the Catholic Church because King Henry the VIII wanted an annulment but was not granted one by the Pope. After this King Henry VIII declared himself to be the true leader of the Church, and was then excommunicated by Pope Clement VII. As such the Anglican Church is not considered to have valid Sacraments or Apostolic Succession by the Catholic Church and does not have any more communion with the Catholic Church than any other Protestant ecclesial community.
What church did King Henry VII form in 1534?
The Church of England.Anglican Catholic Answer!Henry didn't form any church as far as I have been taught! He was a member of the Catholic Church in England, known throughout the ages as the Church in England! The first bishop of that Church was Aristobulos, a friend of S. Paul and who is mentioned in the Ep, to the Romans.What Henry did do was to take sides in a thousand year long dispute regarding the authority within the Church, did it still lay with the apostles through the College of Bishops? Or was it with the Bishop of Rome?Henry and the English Church simply pointed out to Rome, that according to the Canons of the Church no bishop had authority to interfere in another bishop's see. This upset the Bishop of Rome and he refused Henry in to his communion!Regardless of his intention, he did, in fact, create a Protestant denomination.
