“The schism of the Easter “Orthodox” was nothing more than their usual (aptly named) byzantine politics rooted in worldly matters. Keep in mind that until 1054, literally EVERY Christian until then knew and accepted that the Pope in Rome was the ultimate authority on Church matters wherever and whenever a dispute appeared.”

This is simply not true. The primacy of the Bishop of Rome (the actual title of the person holding that position) is a construct. The Papists should be understood as the first Protestants (“Papal Protestants” if you will).
