You haven’t looked too hard. Even the Orthodox regard the Pope as first and as the Successor of St. Peter, even though they don’t believe St. Peter’s prerogatives transferred to the Bishop of Rome.

Correction: We honor him as Peter’s successor, and Primus Inter Pares, or “first among equals”. This was his title from the early Church.

Not the Vicar of Christ.
