I meant that DRoK in the Christian world was a Protestant idea. In the Far East, and in many ancient monarchies (e.g., Egypt), the King did not just rule by divine right, he was believed to be divine himself. The Emperor of Japan was considered to be divine until 1945!

From your citation:

Thomas Aquinas accepted the overthrow of a king and even regicide when the laws of the king are untenably unjust, however, and towards the end of the Middle Ages many philosophers such as Nicholas of Cusa and Francisco Suarez propounded similar theories.

This affirms what I said.

In general, Wikipedia is not a reliable source, BTW. It's written by volunteers who may or may not have any scholarly credentials, and may or may not have any axes to grind concerning their subject matter.

I would think that the Popes thought that they had the "Divine Right of Kings"
as they could do no wrong and when they condemned people who disagreed with them to death.
