There wasn't a uniform reaction, see the English civil war later for more details. And Queen Mary who succeeded Edward and how she's interpreted. It kicks off a bit later than Henry mainly, and I think a lot of it is because Henry still remained quite Catholic in his own practice and there wasn't a major change until later. However then there was major changes that impacted all areas of the UK which all had different religions, this is why Ireland is split into the Republic and Northern because of the religious tensions between the Catholics and the Mainland British settlers who were protestant. Following the Charleses you have the major problems of keeping a protestant monarch, as James II raised his heir to be Catholic so they brought in William of Orange in order to keep Britain protestant. This was the glorious revolution. Though it seems unlikely Henry's founding of the CoE to divorce Catherine of Aragon was frowned on by Martin Luther and other protestant figureheads at the time and religious practices in England didn't overly change. It didn't change until his son, was then reversed by Mary and only really put into full motion under Elizabeth.
