Pope Clement V had a profound effect on the Catholic Church that was to last for centuries. Pope Clement V is the first of the Avignon popes-the first pope who set up resident in Avignon, France, and never set foot in Rome. The long term effect of the Avignon papacy was to weaken the influence of the Catholic Church and hasten that decline that resulted in the protestant revolt two centuries later.
Pope Clement XIII was pope in 1767 and his predecessor was Benedict XIV.
The pope is the head of the Catholic Church. There is only one Catholic Church and it is not a sect. To be a Catholic Church, a church must be in union with the pope. If they are not in union with the pope, they are not Catholic.

San Clemente is Spanish for St. Clement, also known as Pope St. Clement I, the forth Catholic pope.
Clement is listed by Irenaeus and Tertullian as Bishop of Rome, holding office from 92 to his death in 99. He is considered to be the first Apostolic Father of the Church. While the term pope did not come into use until many years later and the hierarchy of the Church was not yet fully established, Clement had been chosen as the leader of the Church, the 'first among equals,' and is considered the 4th pope. Saint Jerome listed Clement as "the fourth bishop of Rome."Catholic tradition says that Clement I was bishop of Rome, and therefore pope, approximately 92 CE to his death in 97 CE. Francis A. Sullivan SJ (From Apostles to Bishops) says that historically there was no Pope Clement I, as the church of Rome was still led by a college of presbyters rather than a single bishop, although Clement would probably have been one of the presbyters of the church in Rome
Clement's action divided the European Catholic Church, while Martel's victory unified it.

Catholic Answer:The Anglican Church (Church of England) schismed from the Catholic Church because King Henry the VIII wanted an annulment but was not granted one by the Pope. After this King Henry VIII declared himself to be the true leader of the Church, and was then excommunicated by Pope Clement VII. As such the Anglican Church is not considered to have valid Sacraments or Apostolic Succession by the Catholic Church and does not have any more communion with the Catholic Church than any other Protestant ecclesial community.
