  1. This is not in the whole world !!! There are currently 6 popes in the Oriental Orthodox Churches… this only talks about Europeans and there relations…

    1. Ouch… I promised that update 11 months ago, didn’t I? My apologies.

      Right now, I’m moving into a new place, but as soon as I’m online, etc., I will add them. 🤗

  2. The 2 in Alexandria were news to me thanks for that, you’re also missing the oldest Christian church and lineage on Earth’s pope, the Ethiopian Orthodox pope.
