Therefore, if anyone says that it is not by the institution of Christ the lord himself (that is to say, by divine law) that blessed Peter should have perpetual successors in the primacy over the whole Church; or that the Roman Pontiff is not the successor of blessed Peter in this primacy: let him be anathema. Vatican 1, Ses. 4, Cp. 1

Goodness! An actual Protestant reference to the Orthodox Churches! :)
So... what are you implying, in your comment? Are you saying that the Orthodox are right? If so, on what basis? Do you say that simply because they seem to agree with the Protestant position (i.e. by sheer accident)? Or do you think that the Orthodox Churches have some sort of authority or weight, on this matter? I'm genuinely curious...
BTW: by all means, keep studying the teachings of the Orthodox Churches! If Protestants adopted all of their beliefs, they'd abandon a great many of their more silly (and dangerous) errors.
