There were two issues that caused problems between kings and popes. One was that the kings wanted to have bishops who would support them, and so wanted to install their own bishops when openings came up within their territories. The popes' point of view on this was that the Church should appoint its own bishops, without having to get any sort of permission from the kings. The other problem was that there were two, parallel, court systems in place, one for the state, and the other for the Church. The Church reserved the right to try its own clergy when they were accused of crimes, even though the crimes were breaking secular laws, so when a priest was accused of stealing a horse, he would be tried by clergy, instead of being tried by an ordinary jury. Since it was hard to figure out who was clergy and who was not, this gradually became a situation in which, for legal purposes, if you could read, you were clergy. The students in universities and other schools, troubadours who happened to be literate, and anyone else who could read, went to a special court where torture was not permitted, and punishments were intended to save a person's soul rather then get revenge, so they were lenient. The kings did not like this one bit. There were other issues as well, including such problems as the fact that churches and monasteries did not pay taxes. But they were not quite as important at the time.
== == The reason is that the author of I and II Kings wanted to give special emphasis to the line of David through the kings of Judah. It would be through this line of kings that King Jesus would come. I and II Kings is anticipating the coming of the King of Kings and is preparing the reader to look for such a king from this line.

A:As popes have for many centuries been required to be celibate, many sexually active popes would not have made their sexual status known, so we could never say with any certainty how many popes were celibate. It is generally only because of the existence of illegitimate children or complaints of rape, that it was proven that a pope was not celibate. Popes who were relatively elderly at the time of their election would probably have been celibate, but in some other cases popes would have been celibate by moral choice. In modern times it is considered that almost all popes have been celibate in office.
If anything, Popes get their wishes fulfilled by actually becoming elected and accepting election in papacy. One can imagine this would be a biggest wish for any of our popes through history.

It depends on the kind of blessing. A religious blessing should come from a priest, though the priest doesn't have to be Irish, though it would be better if he was. Any other kind of blessing could come from anyone, but again it would be ideal if the person was Irish.
