Commonalities are absolute rule, money, power and authority.
Catholic AnswerPopes and Kings have very little in common. Kings mostly rule nowadays because they were born to it. Their authority varies depending on the country they rule and its type of government. Popes are elected by Cardinals, and serve as the Vicars of Christ. Popes have no power, and no real authority to change anything that has been handed down to them. They certainly have no money.

The Prime Minister actually does the day to day ruling in the country in the King's name, and that would be the Pope who takes care of the day to day running of the Church in Jesus' name.
