[Lexicog] sub-morphemic particles??

[Fritz Goerling]

In German we distinguish between Papst (the pontiff) and Pope (=
Greek-Orthodox priest).
It seems to me that in English "papal" refers to the authority of the office
of
the Pope, "popish" to behavior. In German we have an expression "er ist
päpstlicher als der Papst" = someone behaves more popish than the Pope.
The French would say "plus royaliste que roi" (more royalist than the
king").
Is there are corresponding expression in English?

And what about the relationship between "pope" 
and "papal"? It doesn't confirm to the descriptions of derivational 
morphology commonly found (it't not regular), and "pape" is not a 
variety of "pope" on its own.
