Differences between the Roman Catholic Church during Henry VIII reign and the Protest

This is for history revision for a test i have coming up. I am really stuck, please help!

if i am not wrong i guess Mary I is the one who re-establish Roman Catholicism again after Edward VI establish Protestantism. She also rejected the break with Rome instituted by her father-Henry III- who broke with Rome because of his great matter.he also became the first supreme governor of the Church of England

First, it's not "Roman Catholic" but just "Catholic." Catholic is Catholic, whether Latin Rite, Byzantine rite or what have you.

Under Henry VIII we saw the formation of the Anglican Church. For the most part it was just a schism from Catholicism. It still wholly rejected Protestantism. It was Henry's son Edward who would reform it and make it Protestant.

Edward's sister Mary, tried to bring the Church of England back into the fold as she was Catholic. During that time, and for a long time after, many English Anglicans were only nominally so, and we Catholic at heart.

OK. King Henry wants a divorce from Catherine of Aragon so he could marry Anne Boleyn, etc. He has 5 other wives: The pope say, NO> Henry executed Sir Thomas Moore and Bishop Fisher of Rochester for refusing to acknowledge Henry VIII as head of the English Church.
Queen Mary is called bloody Mary for executing protestants as she wants Catholic the religion of England.
Now expound on that

it was the Ame.. Mary was roman catholic and Henry VIII wanted a new church outside of the Pope.. in the beginning they kept many catholic things but they lost with the next kings and queen reject the true church.

Henry declared himself as the head of the catholic church in England, he still kept to the liturgical and sacraments of the church.
it was his daughter Elizabeth 1st. who instigated the 39 articles of the Anglican way of worship
Mary tried to bring back the people to Rome but was executed for her interference

Robert C answer is correct

The differences and similarities between Catholic Christians and Protestant Christians has not really changed much of the centuries.

"What separates us as believers in Christ is much less than what unites us." (Pope John XXIII)

Almost all important doctrine is completely agreed upon between Catholic Christians and other Christians.

Here is the joint declaration of justification by Catholics (1999), Lutherans (1999), and Methodists (2006):

By grace alone, in faith in Christ's saving work and not because of any merit on our part, we are accepted by God and receive the Holy Spirit, who renews our hearts while equipping us and calling us to good works.

There are many minor doctrine issues and some major cultural traditional differences which, I believe, do not matter that much.

A Catholic worships and follows Christ in the tradition of Catholicism which, among other things, recognizes that Christ made Peter the leader of His new Church and Pope Benedict XVI is Peter's direct successor.
