Only in the illusion set up by Roman Catholicism. The Greeks have never believed that, nor any other Christians.

What about all the Eastern Churches that recognize the primacy of Rome?

The Easter churches only instill a primacy of honor as Rome was the seat of "Old Rome", but never any Roman papal supremacy at all. Ask any Eastern Orthodox today if the pope of Rome is the supreme ruler of the church and the answer will be a resounding NO!

Why did Corinth (read: Eastern church) appeal to Clement in Rome and not John the Apostle in Ephesus?

It’s a simple question. Why are you afraid of answering it?
