Orthodox Christians view Pope as a heretic. There's no way they would admit papal primacy, which is something only Catholics do.

I think you mean papal supremacy or papal infallibility. When studying doctrine the Orthodox think that papal primacy has lead too far.

But to explain why the early Christians gave so much respect to the Church of Rome, they said the bishop of Rome was the first among equals, not that he was superior to other bishops.

This man everyone calls the pope is a heretic, in this sense I agree with them. He is probably an antipope.
