Clement continued the struggle of his predecessors with the emperor Louis the Bavarian, excommunicating him after protracted negotiations on the 13th of April 1346, and directing the election of Charles of Moravia, who received general recognition.
During this period Clement was mainly occupied in urging Charles to arrest the progress of the Reformation in Germany and in efforts to elude the emperors demand for a general council, which Clement feared lest the question of the mode of his election and his legitimacy should be raised.
Clement was an unblushing nepotist; three of his nephews he made cardinals, and to one of them gradually surrendered the control of affairs.

Clement VII, né Giulio di Giuliano de' Medici (May 26, 1478 – September 25, 1534) was pope from 1523 to 1534.
After six months captivity he was released upon very onerous conditions, and for some years subsequently followed a policy of subserviency to the Emperor, endeavouring on the one hand to induce him to act with severity against the Lutherans in Germany, and on the other to elude his demands for a general council.
Clement's procrastination on the issue ultimately resulted in the establishment of the independent Church of England.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Clement VII
Clement's commission empowered Wolsey and Campeggio to pronounce upon the sufficiency of the motives alleged in a certain specified document, viz., the Bull; but the Brief was not contemplated by, and lay outside, their commission.
Clement retaliated by pronouncing censure against those who threatened to have the king's divorce suit decided by an English tribunal, and forbade Henry to proceed to a new marriage before a decision was given in Rome.
With regard to Germany, though Clement never broke away from his friendship with Charles V, which was cemented by the coronation at Bologna in 1530, he never lent to the emperor that cordial co-operation which could alone have coped with a situation the extreme difficulty and danger of which Clement probably never understood.

As pope, however, he proved to be unaware of the menace of Lutheranism to the church and was certainly not the man for the opening battles of the Reformation.
Clement's behavior in the matter of the divorce and the dispensations for a new marriage has been called vacillating, but when the situation became critical, he put the irreproachable Cardinal Campeggio in charge of the case with Cardinal Wolsey.

Clement's alliance with France led to the emperor's sack of Rome in May 1527 and opened the way for reform of the papal Curia.
The imperial army imprisoned Clement in the castle of Sant'Angelo, Rome, which compromised Charles's position, because this affront to the pope clashed with his ideal of a joint universal monarchy of pope and emperor.
A few weeks later, the French were defeated in Italy; Clement brought the revocation of Catherine's cause to Rome (July 1529) and in March 1530 forbade Henry to remarry until the papal verdict was pronounced.

Rome was assaulted and sacked on May 6, 1527, and Clement, who had displayed no more resolution in his military than in his political conduct, was shortly afterwards obliged to surrender himself together with the castle of Castel Sant'AngeloSant' Angelo/, where he had taken refuge.
One momentous consequence of this dependence on Charles was the breach with England occasioned by Clement's refusal in 1533, justifiable in point of principle, but dictated by no higher motive than his fear of offending the emperor, to sanction Henry VIII of EnglandHenry VIII's divorce from Catherine of Aragon.

Clement offered 60,000 scudi as "protection money" and it was quickly bumped up to 100,000, but it wasn't really enough money to keep the Germans in the north.
Clement tried to rally support, but the other big players were either genuinely busy elsewhere or were fed up with Clement's constant vacillation: none of the big boys showed up.
But by 1530, February 24 to be exact, there was Clement crowning Charles V in Bologna, the two having been driven back together by new advances into Europe by Suleyman, renewed French activity in southern Italy, and Medici desires to reclaim Florence, from whence they had been driven once again after the Sack of Rome.
