Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Byzantine emperor maintained control over the church by being both the head of church and state. In 451 CE, the Council of Chalcedon established five patriarchs to head each of the five major regions in the church. These were Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem.
Detailed explanation-2: -The pope claimed he was the head of all Christian churches, but Byzantines thought other bishops were equal to the pope. In the late A.D. 700s, the Byzantine emperor refused to help the pope when Italy was invaded, which angered the pope.
