The EOC respected the wishes of the emperor, the political leader. In the RCC, the pope was considered the political and spiritual leader. He often argued with kings over church and government matters.

The Eastern Orthodox honored the emperor’s wishes as the political leader. The pope was seems as the Roman Catholic Church’s political and spiritual authority. He had a lot of disagreement with rulers about church and political affairs.
