What are some impacts that King Henry VIII made on the church?

There are at least two very major impacts that Henry VIII
had on the church in England.

First, it was Henry who
caused the break between the English church and the Roman Catholic Church.  He caused
this break largely because he wanted to divorce Catherine of Aragon and the Church would
not let him (largely because the Pope was at that time being pressured heavily against
it by Catherine's nephew, the Holy Roman Emperor).

Second,
Henry was behind the dissolution of all the monasteries in England.  Monasteries in
those days were very rich and powerful.  Henry dissolved them in part because they were
Catholic and in part because he wanted their riches.

Thus,
Henry had two major impacts on the church.  He broke the English church away from Rome,
making the Church of England and he dissolved all the monasteries in England, destroying
what had once been the backbone of the Catholic Church in
England.
