Have a little read: ... Did Gregory VII have a consistent view of temporal power? Pope Gregory VII's views on temporal power contain several themes that seem to crop up more than most. One much repeated idea is that the immense power of temporal rulers actually limited their authority. The Pope and his supporters put forward the concept that there is a division between power and authority during their refutations. The dualistic implications of this view were that "power" implied "worldly" and that "authority" implied "divine". Authority is more important than power because it is the means to justify actions whereas power is merely the means of carrying them out. Gregory believed this idea so much and used it so much in his letters that soon "power" had become a dirty word. An example of this would be the Pope's letter to the Bishop of Metz, stating that Christ "despised a worldly kingdom." I believe
