You are mistaken. While the first Popes were assigned (by the Roman
Emperor) to have control over the roman church of the time there has
been considerable diversity since then, and most 'christians' do not
recognise the Pope. Waddya think Northern Ireland was about ? *

There are dozens of church primates, the Pope is just head of _one_
organization.


* Basically Eire was the last country with catholic based laws, they
put into law what the Pope tells them to. This is abhorent to the
prodestant north and is the reason that prodestant churches started in
the first place.
