Best Answer

Because the popes wanted independence from the emperor. The Byzantines controlled central Italy and Rome. Relations with the emperor were tense. The Bishops of Rome had gained quite a lot of autonomy, but they wanted full independence. They also wanted the independence of Roman Catholic Europe from the Byzantine Empire whose state religion was Orthodox Christianity.
