How did the wealth of the Catholic Church strengthen its religious and legal powers?
The wealth of the Catholic Church is in its religious powers. It's wealth is in the love of God shown forth daily in the sacraments. Material wealth, if anything, hindered it at times from fulfilling its goals, as various members of the clergy became more concerned with money than with the things of the spirit. Legally, the Church grew encumbered with a great deal of land during the Middle Ages, and the owners of the land controlled the government to an extent. But at this time, nearly everyone in Europe was Catholic anyway, so its primary influence was negative.

What are the specific powers of the Holy Rosary according to the Roman Catholic Church?
First of all, It's just the Catholic Church, not the Roman Catholic Church. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is rarely used by the Catholic Church. Second of all, the Holy Rosary is a form of mental prayer combined with vocal prayer, of itself it has no "powers". The only power the holy rosary has is the love of God by the person praying, and the graces that he would receive therefrom.
Why did King Henry VIII need an alliance with German Lutheran kings?
King Henry VIII sought an alliance with German Lutheran kings primarily to strengthen his position against Catholic powers, particularly the Pope and Spain, during the English Reformation. By aligning with Lutheran states, he aimed to secure political and military support while promoting his break from the Catholic Church. This alliance also helped him consolidate his authority and legitimize his religious reforms, as he faced internal dissent and external threats from Catholic nations. Ultimately, the alliance was part of Henry’s broader strategy to ensure England's sovereignty and independence in religious and political matters.

What was separation of powers designed to do?
Looking back through history, you can see where the church (as an organization) impacted government. All sorts of government and/or country leaders answered to church leaders. Look up "Inquisition" on the Internet and you'll be shocked at what "government" would do to innocent people in behalf of "The Church" and all in the name of God. The Separation of Powers refers to the power of Government and the power of The Church. America was founded for the pursuit of freedom to pursue ones own religious beliefs... not what the Government sanction Church demanded. Keeping religious beliefs in a tolerant manner is what America's Constitution is all about. Keeping the belief in God but not allowing the Church to dictate procedure and law.
How did limiting religious freedoms add to King Louis XIV's power as an absolute monarch?
Limiting religious freedom in France was more of a show of Louis XIV already-strong consolidation of power than a move to further consolidate power, but it did add to his powers. It unified religious power behind the Catholic Church, which Louis XIV could more effectively control as a national institution than the various Protestant Churches which were far more prone to being locally led.
