they fought over who was in power because they were both holy. The HRE (holy roman emperors) wanted power but the Pope who was holy as-well wanted the power also. the Popes ended up Excommunicating all the HREs.

Excommunicating means to band someone from heaven when they die.

It was symptomatic of a dispute between the Pope and the Emperor as to their authority, in particular their authority over each other. Pope Gregory eventually won this dispute and Henry was forced to seek absolution from the Pope. The dispute over the secular power of the Pope (and for that matter the right of the secular ruler to have control over the Church) did not end here however and by the later Middle Ages the secular power of the papacy had effectively ended outside the Papal State and this ended in 1870 with the fall of Rome to the Italian army.
