Pope Innocent III placed the whole of England under an interdict in 1208 when King John refused to appoint the Vatican's nominee Stephen Langton as Archbishop of Canterbury. King John was excommunicated in 1209, but then made big profits from English cathedrals and monasteries after their leaders went into exile. In 1212 it was resolved John decided to accept Langton as a way of getting back in favour before an invasion of France (which turned out a disaster).
I am not sure what your question is in reference to but the pope usually limits his powers of excommunication to heretics.

Pope Clement VII excommunicated King Henry VIII.
The reson the pope shut down all the churches in England was because the 2 of them had an argument on who would be the next Archbishop of Canturbury.This led to the pope (the holyist man at the time) to get angry at King John. The pope then excommunicated (banished) John from all the churches under his power. I really hoped this helped. :) :) :) :) :) ;) ;) ;( ;)

There are some who subscribe to the conspiracy theory that Pope John was a member of the Masons. This is very unlikely as that would have ipso facto excommunicated him from the Church. He did, however, have non-Catholic friends who were members.
The vile, evil Pope Benedict IX was deposed and excommunicated by Pope Damasus II who was elected to succeed Benedict IX.
