Phillip IV was a sworn enemy of Pope Boniface VIII, who considered Phillip to be too extravagant. Phillip then proceeded to tax the clergy over half of their income. The Pope retaliated by issuing a Bull, that forbid the transference of the Church's assets to the French crown. To counter, Phillip enlisted a group of witnesses, including the Grand Bourgeois, nobles, and church officials to condemn the pope. Phillip became victorious, successfully acquiring a French Pope, Clement V, and the papacy moved to Avignon.
Pope Boniface VIII did not want them to impose taxes on clerics, nor did he want French king Philip IV to try a French bishop in a royal court.
In the book "The Cay" by Theodore Taylor, Phillip says "I want to be your friend" on page 18.
