Best Answer

Most Catholics think of the Pope as their Holy Father, Christ's vicar on Earth, the heir of Saint Peter and the head of their Church. Most Protestants think of the Pope as the crowning symbol of Catholicism's apostasy from the anti-establishment teaching of Jesus. You don't ask about Orthodox Christians, most of whom consider both Protestants and Catholics to be pagans.
