Why Did Henry VIII Start His Own Church?
Why did Henry VIII start his own church? This bold move by the English king wasn’t just about religion — it was about love, power, and control. Henry’s wish to divorce Catherine of Aragon was denied by the Pope, leading him to break away from the Roman Catholic Church and form the Church of England.
This major decision changed the course of British history and shaped the future of religion in the country. Understanding why Henry VIII started his own church helps us see how personal choices can lead to massive national changes.
