Answer:

Because getting rid of one universal and powerful Christian Church increased their power and wealth. They wouldn't have the Church limiting their power anymore or have to pay taxes to it. Also as the Church was a big supporter of the king it would increase their power against the king.

So, it was all political...more power, more money, more independence from king or Church. The papacy...completely usurped every royal household snd parliament it could should they decide something for their country and subjects that went against its teachings.

The church interfered in all aspects of nation states affairs,taxes,wedfings,religious …everything and they grew tired of its meddling and took to luthers ideas.
