Rather, ex-Catholics: Nestorians, you know. They did not accept the teachings of the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD.
Visionaries, one could say. Precursors of Protestantism by almost 1000 years.

The model of the pope/priest as a temporal intercessor perched atop the state-establishment - and its similarity to the model Pharaoh Akhenaten propped itself up atop, with them as man-god priest standing between the sheeple and the Aten.... is worth

Meanwhile, Christ's victorious resurrection dispenses with ALL temporal "intercessors" who would stand between the Individual and our Creator. They have no dominion in our relationship with Him.
