The problems between religious and political leaders lay in a matter of control.
Very simplistically, some kings gave the Church a lot of latitude, including status of being free of taxation, having clergy exempt from secular trials, and allowing churches and monasteries to provide sanctuary to fugitives. Other kings wanted to limit these powers, and when they tried to do so, Church leaders naturally resented it and worked to maintain their power, which made monarchs and lords unhappy.
The Church had jurisdiction over oaths, with were vitally important in medieval society, and a bishop or pope could nullify an oath, freeing people from feudal obligations. The political leaders resented this and sought to gain power over the Church by seeing to it that their own candidates were appointed. The church resented such interference.
There were emperors and kings whose power was greatly reduced because of a conflict with a pope. But on the other hand, there were popes who lost much of their authority because of political moves by monarchs and kings.

What was kaiser Wilhelm political party called?
Kaiser Wilhelm was the Emporer of Germany from 1888 to 1918. As such he was the head of state, but not a member of a political party. His political leanings were varied, but early on he became very interested in social issues. A strong indicator of his believes is evident in his dealings with his Chancellor, Bismarck. Bismarck, a conservative, was trying to incite a serious clash between his government and the socialist movement in order to be able to crush them. While the Emporer was not fundamentally opposed to legislation targeting the socialists, he did not want a violent clash or uprising to happen. Because of their differences, Bismarck eventually resigned, but he is now considered one of the most brilliant politicians in German history.
