Nothing. Henry VIII needed to form a new church in order to break from the Roman Catholic Church so he could remarry and produce a male heir; a fairly reasonable ambition for his time.
Unfortunately, the monasteries represented the Catholic Church and Henry had little choice but to back his decision with action against them.
History is unclear on the point of whether Henry took pleasure in this; a culured man ir is possible he felt a twinge of regret, but the obligation to ensure his succession would have taken precedence over monks.

Yes, it made Henry plenty of money through renting land and selling riches, but it also forced the church people into the communities - most in complete poverty. This was very harsh and a lot of the monasteries closed didn't deserve the punishment.

It was right for Henry as he made money on the deal and also was able to annul his own marriage as he was the new head of the church of England.

How did Thomas Cromwell close down monasteries?
Because he wanted the money because he had fought many expensive wars and didn't have very much money left 1.Religion- when Henry was a catholic, the pope didn't believe in divorce, and of course this was a problem for Henry, so he made the church of England. He might of not liked the monks (as they were catholic) so he shut them down. 2.Economics- as Henry fought many expensive wars, he had no money left, so by shutting down the monastries, he gained lots of land and property which resulted in lots of money. 3.The monks- the monks weren't being true to their religion, they are supposed to live a solitary life on their own. However they were caught sleeping with women wearing no clothes, others had wives and children and others were even theives! So Henry had even more reason to shut them down.
