What changes did Henry VIII make to the church?

Henry VIII, king of England, reformed the Roman Catholic Church to suit his own needs.  His changes are known as the English Reformation and occurred in the 16th Century.  He was motivated to make the reforms so that he could divorce his first wife who had failed to provide him with a male heir.  Divorce was forbidden by the church.

Since Henry wanted a divorce, he separated from the church.  He was put at the helm of the Church of England.  The religion was not radically changed in terms of the ritual and services.  The Holy Bible was written in English instead of Latin and was translated by English priests.  Henry confiscated the property of the monasteries and redistributed the wealth amongst the poor, which made his move very popular.  He also kept vast sums of wealth for himself.  Essentially, the greatest reform of Henry was that he connected the throne of England as the head of the new church in England.
