They all have popes and Catholic Bishops? Wow! News to me.

Yes they very definitely have them in their lines of apostolic succession.

A couple random examples:

Many more can be found through google.

LOL First of all Methodists don’t have a pope not do many of those other denominations mentioned. Second we can eliminate any credibility to that fantasy line of Popes because there was no Linus listed as even a Bishop of Rome anywhere in any history of the day. It’s all made up by the Catholic Church from on obscure verse in scripture. Do a study on the history on the title pope and you will see there was no such thing as a single “pope” for at least 300 years.
