He tries to counter the influence of Charles Quint. In 1527, Rome was sacked. He did nothing to counter ITALY - STATES OF THE CHURCH - CLEMENT VII (Julius de Medici)e protestaITALY - STATES OF THE CHURCH - CLEMENT VII (Julius de Medici) nascentism and failed to reconcile with Henry VIII of England breaking with Catholicism.
