You would still have a distinction between Latin and Greek churches, but less important and critically more diverses.
Having the pope being only but the first of Patriarchs, no matter the POD, is going to preserve the "national" organisation of western churches where the king and the bishops of his court makes councils, decides the religious policy, etc.

Christianity would be both more diverse, but really more localised with each "national" church being jealous of its privilege (like autocephalous patriarchs OTL)
