Why did the eastern patriarch reject the pope's claim to be the head of the church?

Catholic Answer:
The presence of Peter in Rome, not explicitly affirmed in but consistent with the New Testament, is explicitly affirmed by Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, Irenaeus of Lyon and other early Christian writers, and no other city has ever claimed to be the place of his death. The same witnesses imply that Peter was the virtual founder of the Church of Rome, though not its founder in the sense of initiating a Christian community there. They also speak of Peter as the one who initiated its episcopal succession, but speak of Linus as the first "bishop", while it is commonly held today that the Christians in Rome did not act as a single united community under a single leader until some time in the 2nd century.
The Eastern Church had been separated by distance from Rome for centuries with little oversite from the Western Church. Diuring this time they strayed from the original teachings and structure of the Church and developed their own culture and traditions. They were not about to acknowledge the Bishop of Rome as the leader and take a chance they would lose their own identity.

∙ 9y agoIn the view of successive eastern patriarchs, the pope had no legitimate claim to be head of the Christian Church.
Certainly, the Catholic Church claimed the apostle Peter as the first pope, but there is no mention in The Bible that Peter ever went to Rome and the consensus of scholars is that there was no bishop appointed or elected in Rome during the first century. A second-century Catholic tradition has Peter go to Rome and even has him executed there, creating a tradition of succession from Peter to the Catholic popes. In the absence of this tradition, the Orthodox patriarchs could have a better claim to being the true successors to Peter.

What was a patriarch in the Byzantine state?
omg do u like in arcadia? ANYWAY umm, it was basically called the patriarch, but the patriaarch didnt claim strong authority over other patriarchrs or bishops, instead, he was a "first among equal"Maybe thisll help"Church Hierarchy Like Roman Catholic clergy, Orthodox clergy were ranked in order of importance. In Byzantine times, the emperor had supreme authority in the Church. He selected the patriarch of Constantinople, who ranked just below him in matters of religion.Unlike the pope in the west, the patriarch did not claim strong authority over other patriarchs and bishops. Instead, he was "first among equals." The patriarch of Constantinople (modern Istanbul, Turkey) still holds this honor." quoted from history alive medieval world and beyodn txtbook

What eventually led to the split between the Eastern Orthodox church and the Western Catholic Church?
The Church was extremely spread out in the years before the split, and Christians in the east began looking to Patriarch Michael I for religious leadership, while Christians in the west remained looking to Pope Leo XI for religious leadership. These men had different interpretations of the Bible and different theological theories; there were arguments over the use of icons, whether or not to use leavened or unleavened bread in the Holy Eucharist, the Pope's claim to universal jurisdiction, and the place of Constantinople in relation to the Pentarchy. Tensions mounted high enough that both men excommunicated each other, which was known as the Great Schism, or the East-West Schism, and the Catholic Church would go on to dominate Christianity in western Europe, while the Eastern Orthodox Church would go on to dominate Christianity in eastern Europe.

Did the Catholic church write the Quran?
NO. The Qur'an was written either by Muhammad, or early Muslims based on what they believed Muhammad to have revealed from God. It is a conspiracy theory that the Catholic Church created Islam as some kind of method to control Eastern Orthodoxy, but there is no evidence to support this conclusion. Even Critical Islamic Studies Professors like Wainsborough and Crowe, who both postulate very different origins for the Qur'an than those in mainstream Islamic thought, reject any claim that the Catholic Church was involved in the writing of the Qur'an.
