Is the Pope Catholic. One of them is, but the others aren’t. There’s also a Greek Pope, a Coptic Pope and an Ethiopian Pope

It’s a title (=Papa) that has different applications in different churches. As for the Catholics, it means being successor to Peter, visible head of the universal Church, Patriarch of the West and Bishop of Rome.
