they fought over who was in power because they were both holy. The HRE (holy roman emperors) wanted power but the Pope who was holy as-well wanted the power also. the Popes ended up Excommunicating all the HREs.

Excommunicating means to band someone from heaven when they die.

How did the conflict between Pope Gregory VII and Emperor Henry IV reflect the church's increasing authority?

This is the Investiture Crisis a dispute between the Pope and the Emperor as to whom had the right to invest Bishops the lay ruler or the Church. It was symptomatic of a dispute between the Pope and the Emperor as to their authority, in particular their authority over each other. Pope Gregory eventually won this dispute and Henry was forced to seek absolution from the Pope. The dispute over the secular power of the Pope (and for that matter the right of the secular ruler to have control over the Church) did not end here however and by the later Middle Ages the secular power of the papacy had effectively ended outside the Papal State and this ended in 1870 with the fall of Rome to the Italian army.


How did Pope Gregory VII check the power of the holy roman emperor?

Pope Gregory VII checked the power of the Holy Roman Emperor by asserting the principle of papal supremacy, particularly through the famous Investiture Controversy. He opposed the practice of lay investiture, where secular leaders appointed church officials, claiming that only the pope had the authority to appoint bishops. This conflict culminated in the excommunication of Emperor Henry IV, which weakened his authority and led to a significant power struggle between the papacy and the monarchy. Gregory's actions reinforced the idea that the pope held spiritual authority over secular rulers.
