Your church is killing itself. And when exactly did Christ use the word “pope”?

when exactly did Christ use the word “bible”?
No, the church is not killing itself, I'm not certain how this current situation will play out and I haven't had the opportunity to read the encyclical yet....but the church will be just fine, thank you...
The word pope merely means papa or father....he is actually the bishop of Rome....probably started as a title of affection who knows when.....I've never researched it but I'll bet that its history is documented somewhere.
