Answer:

The church stated that Charlemagne was a physical manifestation of God on Earth and was appointed by God to rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Alliance between the Church and Charlemagne made the Catholic church stronger and its kingdom. From this alliance, the Holy Roman Empire was born, which meant that the Catholic Church pointed out that Charlemagne was a Christian king appointed by God to protect and promote the church.
