...And who do you think has the authority to sack a pope?
.
AnswerNobody "sacked" the pope. The only possible reason that Church could possibly have for trying to get rid of a pope would be outright heresy, and I'm not even sure that is possible as Our Blessed Lord himself guaranteed to Peter and his successors that they would be strengthened in the faith. (See St. Matthew 16:17-19) The Holy Father is the Vicar of Christ on earth, he is the "office of last resort", nobody has authority over him, except Our Blessed Lord, Himself. Pope Benedict XVI resigned from office, ostensibly for the reasons he gave the public: his age and failing health. If he had other reasons, they are between himself and God.Henry VIII did not "sack" the Pope (it was Clement VII, by the way); he just started his own Church with himself as the head, instead of the Pope.
He sacked the pope and changed the British religion from Catholic to Protestant. He then appointed a Archbishop of Canterbury. Henry did not sack the pope! [source?] He pointed out that the Council of Nicaea, the major Council in Church history, prohibits the interference of one bishop in another bishop's see without his permission. The pope couldn't renege on Nice without causing immense trouble! It is fundamental to Church Order! As to appointing another Archbishop? Who was that then ? Cranmer received his Scarf from Rome! By the way, Henry at no time broke from Rome, neither did England, the break came from the other side!
Attila was a barbarian invader and Pope Leo convinced him not to sack Rome.
No one knows for sure, but whatever he said to Attila convinced him to not sack Rome.
The pope (I don't remember his name) said that if Attila were to sack Rome, he would be ex-communicated from the church. Since Attila was a devout Christian, and did not want to be sent to hell, he did not attack Rome.
Attila was leading the Huns into the Western half of the Roman Empire to attack Rome in 452, when Pope Leo I rode out alone and talked to Attila, persuading him to turn back and not sack Rome.

Atilla the Hun, and he didn't attack Pope Leo, he was actually planning to sack Rome and claim it as his own until Pope Leo intervened. When the pope came out of the meeting tent with Atilla, he said, "God has spared you this day." Atilla and his army passed by.

Initially the English reformation was state led with Henry's eagerness to get his hands on Church lands! Then in his haste to get an annulment from his wife and with the Bishop of Romes lukewarm refusal, Henry pointed out that one bishop has no right of interference in another bishop's see, at least according to the Council of Nice! It is the Ecumenical Councils that are the magisterium of the Catholic Church and the pope couldn't argue. Henry caused people to look fresh at the Canons and Councils of the Church and set off a series of separations over the next three hundred years from the Roman Catholic Church! There would perhaps have been other in 1810 , but the pope agreed with Napoleon that the Emperor could sack the French Bishops and he would allow new ones .

The history between the Pope and monarchs has not always been a smooth road. The monarchs were not happy with the pope trying to impose his rules in their country. On the other hand the Pope was trying to conquer Europe and expand the Roman Catholic empire.
