The requirements to be considered for the position of pope - one must be a male Catholic. That pretty much eliminates a Jew from consideration. The only way it could happen would be if the person was an ethnic Jew who had converted to Catholicism. Saint Peter was a Jew before he became a Catholic. Does that count?

If The apostles were jew's how did we get Catholic pope?
Jesus was Jewish, as were all members of the one Church of Christ shortly after Jesus died, including the apostles. Peter and Paul opened the church to everyone, not just Jewish people,since Jesus died for all. The church became "catholic", which means "open to all, universal" However, since the Great Schism, and particularly the Reformation, some people protested against corruption and evil within the Church and so these 'Protestants' now have their own churches such a the Anglican Church, Lutherans, Methodists and so on. So while these churches can still be called 'catholic' (with a small 'c') meaning universal, they are not part of the Roman Catholic Church, the branch of the Christian Church that is still under the authority of the Pope.
Where did the Catholics religion come from?
The Roman Catholic Religion originally came from Judaism. All the founding members of the Church were Jews. Our Blessed Lord, Himself, was a Jew, and His apostles were all Jews. The "Roman" part of it comes from the fact that the first Pope, Peter, went to Rome, which was the center of the civilized world at that point in history, and the Church has spread out from Rome to cover the world. "Roman" is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church.
