How did the the powers of the popes and king differ?

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.
