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: -King Henry VIII broke away from the Catholic Church because under their policies, he was not allowed to divorce his current wife. She was no longer able to give him a male heir and he needed one. He formed the Church of England and divorced his wife.
Detailed explanation-3: -Henry, who was looking for a way out of his marriage to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, ignored the pope’s warning. He went on to marry Anne Boleyn (and four subsequent wives), leading to his excommunication and one of the most significant schisms in the history of Christianity.
