Just a little note on King Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon's marrige: the Pope did give his agreement to the marriage and proclaimed it would be valid.
That's one of the reasons his successor wasn't all keen (he refused to answer for 7 years!) to grant Henry the annulment, since it would mean the previous Pope and thus Vatican, had been wrong.
