so much trouble just for a divorce

i find it incredible how Henry VIII set out just to get a divorce from an act forced on him and he ended up being the key factor in the division of England from the Catholic Church. Honestly Henry just wanted to marry the Girl of his dreams Anne. Instead he had to marry her in secret while waiting for Parliament to decide that he was divorced from Catherine. Sure he probably went about things in the wrong way and looking for the fast way out but in the age of thoughts and questions his action allowed for a change that needed backing to make it work. Many of the British people wanted to be independent of Rome. They wanted to have the powers and the lands that the catholic church did without all the hassles. So these reformers slipped in when Henry made a stir and set out to change England. I think that when it comes down to it that is was a huge headache to Henry to have to deal with all these changes and all the politics just to get a marriage fixed. and when it came to it his daughters were both seen as illegitimate. They both eventually became queen but What was Henry thinking? he really just wanted a new wife and instead he sparked a religious revolution.
