Morphology
The meaning 'a strong and firmly established belief in the authority of the Pope' is directly derivable by combining 'deep-rooted' (strongly ingrained) with 'papism' (belief in papal/Catholic authority). This follows a standard adjective + noun composition, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the overall meaning (noting that 'papism' is somewhat less frequent or historical).
Etymology
Deep-rooted papism uses the simple image of a tree with very deep roots to show something firm and hard to move, and the word papism refers to support for the Pope. That's why it means 'a belief in the Pope's authority' that is very hard to change.
