Pope Leo IX believed, as does the Bishop of Rome today, that Church officials should answer to him as he is the officially appointed Vicar, on earth, of the Head of the Catholic Church. As the Vicar of Christ occupying the Seat of Peter, he has the sacred duty and obligation to govern Church and to insure orthodoxy in all things.
Is it unreasonable? No, it is not; we can liken his position to that of a president who has to maintain the laws of his country - who can only do this if people answer to him (as provided for in the constitution), so too is it with the Bishop of Rome.
