Reverend is a form of address for a priest or minister and Pope is the head of the Roman Catholic Church. You don't properly say, "a Reverend," rather you would say "a minister" or "a priest." They're not necessarily even in the same organization.
Reverend is the form of address used for ministers in Protestant churches, and sometimes also for Catholic priests. It is a generic polite form of address for any clergy of most any religion, e.g. "Reverend Smith", or more often, "Rev. Smith". For Catholics, a priest would be addressed as "Father Smith", but for non-Catholics to say, "Rev. Smith" for a Catholic priest is generally considered perfectly acceptable.
The Pope is the (earthly) head of the Roman Catholic church. In most Protestant sects, this would translate to "President" or some such term. In the Orthodox Christian denominations, the closest equivalent would be "Patriarch."
