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!
What the hell are you talking about? The following are Eastern Churches which believe in the primacy of the pope:
Alexandrian - Coptics, Ethiopians
Armenian
Antiochian - Maronite, Syriac, Syro-Malankara
Chaldean - Chaldean, Syro-Malabar
Byzantine - Albanian Byzantine, Belarusian Greek, Bulgarian Greek, Greek Byzantine, Hungarian Greek, Italo-Albanian, Macedonian Greek, Melkite Greek, Romanian Church, Russian Byzantine, Ruthenian Catholic, Slovak Greek, Ukrainian Greek
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?
