Answer 3

I will go with last answer. Cuz pope turned to political and military leaders in the west for support and began to cut ties with the Byzantine emperor. In the year 800, the pope crowned Charlemagne the new Holy Roman Emperor. This outraged the Byzantines who felt that the Byzantine emperor was the rightful ruler of the Roman Empire. The dispute between the pope and Byzantine emperors continued. The pope claimed authority over the church, kings, and emperors, including the Eastern Church and the Byzantine emperor.
