Answer (3)

True: 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.

Henry VIII broke with the Catholic Church to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, primarily because he sought a male heir. His request for annulment was denied by the Pope, leading him to establish the Church of England. In doing so, he became the Supreme Head of the Church, which allowed him to marry Anne Boleyn.
