Sorry, but you've repeated the usual twaddle about Henry VIII. He never asked anyone for a divorce, what he wanted from the pope was an annulment. The pontiff at the time, however, had attacked the nephew of Queen Mary, and lost: he was informed that annulling the marriage would result in him being "annulled." As for the church, Henry founded nothing. He required that no changes be made, and it was not until 1870 that recognition of the pope's universal jurisdiction was required.
If someone "founded" the Anglican church, it would be Elizabeth I. Or rather Pope Pius V, who excommunicated her after his war against her failed, thus requiring those loyal to him to work actively to usurp her reign.
Not monarchs nor popes at their best, eh? But very consistent with the struggles between rulers and the papacy beginning in the 11th century — remember for instance how the French kings set up their own pope in Avignon for 70 years…
