Detailed explanation-1: -However, Henry formally broke with the Pope and the Roman Church after Pope Clement VII refused to grant him an annulment of his marriage to Katherine of Aragon so that he could wed Anne. His appeal for an annulment was on the grounds that their union contravened the scriptures, citing Leviticus 20.
Detailed explanation-2: -The final schism between the Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church came when Pope Clement VII refused over a period of years, to annul Henry’s marriage to Katherine, not just as a matter of principle, but also because the Pope lived in fear of Katherine’s nephew, Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor.

In March 1534 the Pope eventually made his decision. He announced that Henry’s marriage to Anne Boleyn was invalid.
