No, the Pope is not considered a king in the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. The Pope is the head of the Church and is considered the spiritual leader, but he does not hold a political title like a king.
when king Henry the eight of England wanted an anulment or divorce, from his wife Cathrine of Aragon daughter of king Ferdinan and queen isabela of Spain, pope Clement did not give them one. king Henry ordered the arch bishop of cantinberry to do it, then pope Clement excommunicated King Henry so he begian the protestant church of England with him at the head of it.
I think the king would have to listen to the pope.
The king is not a member of the hierarchy of the Church.
No king has ever replaced a pope as head of the Catholic Church. Henry VIII did break from the Catholic Church and formed what is the Church of England but which is not a Catholic Church as it is not in union with Rome.
Vatican City is the headquarters of The Roman Catholic Church which is headed by the Pope.
'Anglican' religion is the religion of the Church of England, which is a Reformed Catholic faith that acknowledges the King or Queen as the head of the church, not the Pope. It was formed in 1534 by King Henry VIII.
It depends on what Church you're talking about. If it's say, the Catholic church, it would be the Pope (Pope Francis in this case), whereas if it was the Anglican church, it would be the King or Queen of England (currently Elizabeth II). However, regardless of whatever Church you're wondering about, there are others who, although not the head of the Church, do have considerable power, e.g. Archbishops, deacons, etc.
King Henry VIII was at odds with the pope because he wanted to get a divorce. This caused King Henry VIII to form the Church of England. This church was just like the Catholic Church, except the king of England was at its head, not the pope, and King Henry VIII could get divorced. A lot.
