Which church did Henry VIII establish where he had the power to appoint bishops and decide the method of worship, instead of the Pope?

Okay, let's break down the story behind the Church of England. Back in the 16th century, King Henry VIII wanted to divorce his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, but the Pope wouldn't grant him an annulment. This led to a major clash between Henry and the Catholic Church. In 1534, Henry declared himself the Supreme Head of the Church of England, effectively breaking away from papal authority. This was a monumental shift! He established the Church of England, also known as the Anglican Church, so he could control religious matters within England. Crucially, this meant he, not the Pope, had the power to appoint bishops and dictate how religious services were conducted. The other options – the Church in Wales, the Church of Ireland, and the Church of Scotland – have different histories and structures. While they are all part of the broader Christian landscape of the UK and Ireland, they weren't directly established by Henry VIII to replace the Pope's authority. The Church of England was Henry's way of asserting his power and getting his divorce!
