It's true that the absence of any kind of apparent Church in Britannia is interesting. However, Britain herself rejected the authority of Rome in the reign of Henry VIII (politically) and in the reign of his daughter Elizabeth (religiously).
Politically, the figure of the Pope has often become problematic; what King wants the authority of his office divided, with his people splitting their loyalty between him and the Church (with the Church likely to win in a conflict, since it is responsible for Man's eternal soul)?
