King Richard didn't take back the Holy Land . The Crusades were a series of campaigns of greed and to attain power and wealth, by the Catholic church and various European monarchs
To consolidate his power Louis XIV tried to centralize the religion of the state. He chose Catholicism. He also declared that the king would reign alone. He did not have a chief advisor so he had an absolute monarchy.
Fighting began when the king of France tried to take the territory claimed by England in southern France and England also claimed the territory.
In the 13th century, the Catholic Church reached the height of its political power. Pope Innocent III used his political power to force the king of France, Phillip Augustus, to take back his wife and queen after Phillip had tried to have his marriage annulled. The pope also compelled King John of England to accept the pope's choice for the position of archbishop of Canterbury.Roman Catholic AnswerThe popes are Our Blessed Lord's Vicars on earth. As such, they represent, when they are teaching in their official capacity, Christ's voice to His Church. Popes, personally, have no power to force any individual to do their (the Pope's) own will. However, if the ruler is a Catholic, then they would extend all respect to God's representative and head of His Church on earth.
Despite The King being in charge the church, as long as The King was faithful, could literally take control saying what they want is God's will

Confinscated all their books, and feligous relics. Some were burned to the ground and their property was added to the king of england and supreme head of the churchs royal library.

The simple answer is he wanted a divorce from his first wife, Catherine of Aragon to marry Anne Boleyn. Anne convinced him to finally break way from the church and take the pope's power for his own. The pope was seen as God's word on earth, and his "power" was greater than a King. When Henry formed the Church of England, he was able to grant himself the divorce because he became the head of that church. Henry believed that Kings were God's anointed rulers, that God chose him to rule, whereas man elects the next pope...therefore the King is closer to God's law than the pope.
to be able to take money from the church, Henry had to close the catholic church and monasteries to take away their money. To be able to close the monasteries Henry needed a reason, so, he bad mouthed the catholics by saying that they believed in the wrong things and that they were greedy. By saying that, he then had the power (as king) to close, burn and take all the money from the churches and monasteries. written by lucian thomas :-p
