The Council of Nicaea had carved the Roman empire up among 4 super-bishops or Metropolitans: Rome, Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem. Provision was made later for Constantinople and Carthage. In principle, no bishop could be appointed without the Metropolitan's permission.
Ever since the time of Anicetus in the second century, the bishop of Rome had claimed to be the successor to Peter and therefore in some way superior to, or at least "more equal" than, his peers. Over the centuries that followed, the eastern leaders ceded the bishop of Rome more status, but never as the unchallenged leader of the Church. This came to a head in 1054 when the Pope attempted to change the Nicaean creed without the authority of the bishops, and resulted in the Great Schism.
