The list below numbers St. Peter as the first pope, and St. Linus as the second. Pope Francis is not as Pope Francis 1st, at least until there is another pope of that same name. Stephen II (#92) died before his consecration, so is not counted as a pope in some lists, moving all the numbers after him up one and making Pope Francis 266, not 267.
