It was about the concept of the universal monarchy. Catholics were really desperate for some manner of official recognition from the Roman Empire, but were told to bugger off. What followed was a millennia of "lies, we are the real Romans because we just feel like it in our barbarian blood, our bishop is the most mainest bestest bishop of all bishops and our kind is like the king of all kings, m'kay". Of course we all know what kind of a farce was that unholy unroman nonempire.
