Why did Henry VIII leave the Catholic Church in the 1500s?

Answer
A
He wanted to prevent the sale of indulgences.
B
He married Anne Boleyn in defiance of the Pope.
C
He drafted a list that criticized church practices.
D
He translated the Bible into German and English.

Explanation

Henry VIII broke with the Catholic Church after the Pope refused to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. He then married Anne Boleyn despite the Pope’s opposition and established the Church of England under royal authority. The sale of indulgences and criticism of church practices are more closely associated with other Reformation leaders.
