King Henry VIII became the Head of the Church of England

[CyrilSebastian]

King Henry VIII became the Head of the newly founded Church of England on November 3, 1534, after passing     
a law called the Act of Supremacy. This made him the head of the Church of England instead of the Catholic Pope.   
What could the Roman Catholic Church have done to prevent King Henry VIII becoming Head of the Church?

King Henry VIII's wife Queen Catherine of Aragon had six pregnancies.   
Henry, Duke of Cornwall (January 1, 1511-February 22, 1511) was their first living child.   
Though his birth was celebrated as that of the heir apparent, he died within weeks.

King Henry VIII asked Pope Clement to sanction the annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, in order that 
he could marry Anne Boleyn. Under pressure from Catherine's nephew, Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, the Pope refused Henry's request.

Beauvale Priory was a Carthusian monastery in Beauvale, Nottinghamshire.   
Following England's break from Rome, the Carthusians refused to accept King Henry VIII's supremacy over the church.   
Robert Lawrence, Prior of Beauvale, travelled to London in 1535 to see Thomas Cromwell in person   
in the hope of stopping the dissolution of his priory. Cromwell never saw Lawrence.
