The Pope is not always more powerful than kings, as their influence varies depending on historical context and specific circumstances. In medieval Europe, the Pope wielded significant spiritual authority that often allowed him to challenge or influence monarchs. However, in modern times, the power of the Papacy is primarily spiritual and moral, while kings and political leaders hold secular authority. Thus, the relationship between the Pope and kings can differ greatly depending on the era and the political landscape.
