The Church did not *allow* Henry VIII to execute Elizabeth Barton, any more than it "allowed" Henry to execute Bishop / Cardinal John Fisher. The Pope could do nothing to stop him.
Both religious persons were found guilty of treason. Fisher denied the King his new title of Supreme Head of the Church of England. Barton predicted that the King would be dethroned and die six months after his marriage to Anne Boleyn.

No, it didn't have the most power. Not in England. It did however own a lot of the money in the country, and owed allegiance to a foreign power - the Pope.
