Answer 1

The major cause of the English Reformation is best explained by the pope’s refusal to annul Henry VIII’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon. Henry VIII sought an annulment to marry Anne Boleyn, and when the pope refused, he broke away from the Catholic Church, leading to the establishment of the Church of England.
