What was ‘the split with Rome’?
- Henry the VIII broke from Rome because of four main reasons: money, control and power, religion and succession. Having broken the back of the Church in England and Wales, Henry VIII turned on the Pope and Papal power. To some this would have been a natural move as it had been Clement VII who had refused to sanction an annulment of Henry’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon. It could be argued that Clement’s refusal to give in to Henry sparked off a series of events that ended with the Pope’s power being removed from the land later in the century.
- Having failed to get a divorce from the Pope, Henry declared that that the English Church was separate from the rest of the Catholic Church in Europe and that the Pope had no authority in England. Henry granted himself a divorce in 1533 and then made himself Supreme Head of the Church IN England in 1535.
