Kings are the ruler of that country. Popes are the head of the Roman Catholic Church.
the popes had more power over the kings
well everyone because popes had more authority than kings.
Kings and Popes... I believe. (:
Popes are the head of the Catholic Church and chosen by the church. Kings are people who inherit the crown through family members.

The Vatican does not have kings, it has popes.
Emperors and kings disagreed with the Popes over who should appoint bishops. The disagreement lead to the Investiture controversy.
The name common to three Scottish kings, eight popes, and three tsars of Russia is Alexander.

No pope has been a king. However, since the Vatican became an independent country in 1929 he is considered as the monarch, or sole ruler, of the city/state.
The name that connects three Scottish kings and eight popes is "Kenneth." Specifically, it refers to Kenneth I of Scotland (also known as Kenneth MacAlpin) and two other kings named Kenneth in Scottish history. Additionally, several popes, such as Pope Kenneth I through Pope Kenneth VIII, share this name, highlighting its historical significance.
The powers of popes and kings differed primarily in their domains of authority and influence. Popes held spiritual and religious power, claiming authority over the Church and its followers, often positioning themselves as God's representative on Earth. In contrast, kings wielded political and military power, governing their territories and enforcing laws. While popes could influence kings and wield significant moral authority, kings maintained control over secular matters, leading to a complex relationship often marked by competition and cooperation.
