They had a wonderful life
Between the papacies of Pope Gregory VII and Pope Innocent III, the political power of the Catholic Church significantly increased. Pope Gregory VII (1073-1085) asserted the Church's authority over secular rulers, particularly through the Investiture Controversy, which challenged lay investiture. By the time of Pope Innocent III (1198-1216), the Church had solidified its influence, wielding considerable power over monarchs, exemplified by his ability to excommunicate King John of England and place England under interdict. This period marked a transition from a church seeking independence to one that actively engaged in and shaped political affairs across Europe.

That depends where they are King, and how much power their ancestors gave away. The current Monarchs of United kingdom, Denmark or Belgium do not really have much power, but on the other hand Sultan Qaboos of Oman has total power in his country.
Pope Innocent III exerted control over monarchs primarily through the use of interdicts and excommunications, which could effectively undermine a ruler's authority and influence over their subjects. He asserted the papacy's supremacy by asserting that kings were subject to the Church, thereby using ecclesiastical power to influence political matters. Additionally, Innocent III engaged in political alliances and supported certain monarchs while opposing others, further solidifying the papacy's role in European governance.
The Monarch does not embody the principles of absolute power or authoritarianism, as their role is largely ceremonial and symbolic, with limited political authority. They do not represent divisiveness or exclusion, but rather serve as a unifying figure for the nation. Additionally, the Monarch does not embody modern democratic values such as equality and popular sovereignty, since their position is inherited rather than elected.

Pope Innocent III called for a crusade against heretics in France primarily to combat the Albigensian heresy, which threatened the unity and authority of the Catholic Church. The Albigensians, who held dualistic beliefs that contradicted orthodox Christianity, gained significant support in the region. By launching a crusade, Innocent aimed to restore religious purity, eliminate heretical teachings, and reinforce the power of the Church in France. This campaign, known as the Albigensian Crusade, also served to consolidate royal power and expand the influence of the Church in the region.
