Why did Hentry VIII want Parliament to dissolve England's ties to the Catholic Church?

Henry VIII wanted Parliament to dissolve England's ties to the Catholic Church primarily to gain control over religious and political power. His desire for an annulment from Catherine of Aragon, which the Pope refused, fueled his break from Rome. By establishing the Church of England, he could marry Anne Boleyn and secure a male heir, while also seizing church lands and wealth, thus enhancing his authority and resources. This move was both a personal and political strategy to consolidate his rule.
