You ignore the effects of the enclosures for the depopulating the country. When lords discovered they could make more money selling wool to Belgian mills than they could raising foodstuffs from individual tenant plots they enclosed their lands, ousted most of the tenants and raised sheep. As to the Anglican Chuch and the Reformation, while the Anglicans do not have the panoply of saints the Romans do, they do celebrate saints by name. In fact their celebration of Francis Bernadone rivals any seen in Italy.The purifying of the Anglican Church was attempted by Knox and his followers and by the Puritan parlimentarians. Its success was modest in the end.
Enclosure really became a big thing during the Tudor period, so it coincides with Henry's seizure of church land. England had been a farming society, with much land owned by the Church, with an understanding that "the commons" could be used to support local residents. The Acts of Enclosure took the lands from the Church and gave it to wealthy landowners. They decided that sheep were better than crops. Wool could be sold for cash across the Channel, so "the commons" disappeared and the landowners became far wealthier. The people suffered. The only recourse became government assistance.
As I said at the beginning, enclosure and the English Reformation are separate topics, but one feeds upon the other to some extent.
I see you are a teacher from your profile page. Then you must know that no one can describe the entire complicated history of England adequately in one paragraph, especially when neither David Hume nor John Lingard could do it in less than two volumes.
