Cromwell helped Henry VIII break away from the Catholic church when he wanted to divorce Catherine of Aragon. Hope that helped =).

Some people believe that Cromwell was the moving force behind The Reformation...that it was his idea to break with Rome. However, he wouldn't have been able to go as far as he did if Henry hadn't agreed with each of Cromwell's steps.

When Henry wanted to divorce Catherine of Aragon, Cromwell helped him do it. Cromwell's fall came when he arranged a marriage with ugly Anne of Cleves. . .:(
