What was the perspective of the pope when England separated from the roman church?
The Church of England didn't separate from the Roman Church! At the very least this is a mistake! First of all Henry 8th, pointed out to the Pope that according to the canons of Nice, no bishop has the right to interfere in another Bishop's see. This meant that the Bishop of Rome was bereft of authority! This was already the belief being put by the Eastern Church and had great support in England, for Henry to put this claim forward at this time in the Reformation was a hard blow! It really did strip the pope of his magisterium! In 1545, the papacy called a Council at Trent which set up a new body within the Catholic Church, here the bishops surrendered their responsibilities on to the shoulder's of Rome! When the Pope was trying to foment Civil War and a Spanish Invasion of England, he called his supporters out from the Church in England [1570] and tried to set up a schismatical church. This was when the break came and it was a sign of frustration within the papacy that the three strongest Catholic bodies, Papacy, Empire and Spain could not eradicate this remnant of early catholic polity from the stage!
