>>Yes. Each of these churches were part of the Holy Catholic Church. For example, a Holy Ecumenical Council was held in Ephesus.<<
I didn’t say the RCC didn’t try to usurp the authority of the church. I showed that all of those churches were independent having a different governing authority. The church of Rome isn’t even mentioned ie not to be considered relevant.

They WERE not independent. Rome had a Bishop at the time, just like the other main churches, Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria, Constantinople.
