Katherine nephew was Charlwes V of Spain, Emperor Of Austria
and Holy Roman Emperor

In 1527 his troops captured and sacked Rome, forcing the
Pope to flee and putting the fear of God into the Pope

Seems Pope Clement when considering threats put more weight
into Charles V than Henry

Nonsense! Nobody puts the fear of God into the Pope, but GOD. He’s concerned not with this life - which is why he refused the annulment, because he’s only concerned with pulling as many folks up there with him as possible and getting there himself.

Why would he flee? To keep a head of the Church around for the stability of the Church, until God decides he should die. You can’t escape when your number is up. Briebart, not only knows this well, but I pray, is immensely happier for it!
