There is no Roman Catholic Church. It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. The Catholic Church has always been led by Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Jesus appointed St. Peter and his successors as His Vicars on earth to lead His Church, St. Leo IX was pope when the Greeks split, but he died that year, his successor was Victor II. The Greek Orthodox Church, I am assuming was led by the Patriarch which was Michael Cerularius at that time.
If The apostles were jew's how did we get Catholic pope?
Jesus was Jewish, as were all members of the one Church of Christ shortly after Jesus died, including the apostles. Peter and Paul opened the church to everyone, not just Jewish people,since Jesus died for all. The church became "catholic", which means "open to all, universal" However, since the Great Schism, and particularly the Reformation, some people protested against corruption and evil within the Church and so these 'Protestants' now have their own churches such a the Anglican Church, Lutherans, Methodists and so on. So while these churches can still be called 'catholic' (with a small 'c') meaning universal, they are not part of the Roman Catholic Church, the branch of the Christian Church that is still under the authority of the Pope.
