All the quotes you posted indicate is that the bishop has the primary jurisdiction and that the bishops, heirs of the Apostles, are equal in honor. The Church agrees. (We need to see the context before we can understand what the "universal priest" is supposed to mean; on the face of it, it does not apply to the pope since the Eucharist consecrated by the pope has no qualities or essence distinct from the Eucharist consecrated by any other priest).

To see a reasonable criticism of the post-1054 papacy, as well as informed reading of the fathers, one needs to go the an Orthodox source. But then, of course, one would have to remember that the modern papacy developed, very unfortunately, in near isolation from the Eastern bishops and served primarily the needs of the West.

As to the question where the Reform movement stands today, I applaud your interest in finding that out. Let us know when your are done.
