Roman Catholic Popes are descended from Peter, how can they be false? Please be more clear in your question and what you are referring to.
There is only one pope at a time and he is Catholic. There are no Protestant popes although, technically, the pope is the spiritual leader of them also.

There is only one Catholic pope at a time in society.
There have been a total of 265 popes including Peter.
Of the 266 popes in the history of the Church, only about 80 have been declared as saints.
Popes have been around since the days of Saint Peter. They did not use the title of pope until many years later, however, but there has always been a man in the position as leader of Christianity.
