Catherine didn't have a male heir for Henry and he had to insure that there was a male heir so the crown would stay within the Tutor family. His hold on the crown was tentative at best and there were others who had a better claim on the throne than he did. One reason the Catholic Church gave him such a hard time Catherine's uncle was pope and supported Catherine in her battle with Henry.

The Act of Supremacy established Henry VIII as not only the King of England but the head of the Anglican Church as well. This meant he did not have to answer to any religious ruler and had absolute power over decisions of both church and state in Britain. This power, in a time when the Pope controlled nearly everyone, was unprecedented.
