Who is the Pope of England?

Answer 1

There is no pope in the English Church even though it is a Catholic Communion! There is no sight of him in the Revelation of Christ, or in Scripture or Holy Tradition!

When Augustine head of the Roman Mission met the British Bishops they are alleged to have replied to him,

"be it known and declared that we all, individually and collectively, are in all humility prepared to defer to the Church of God and to the Bishop of Rome and every sincere and Godly Christian so far as to love everyone according to his degree, in perfect charity and to assist them all by word and deed in becoming the Children of God. But as for any other other obedience we know of none that he, whom you term the Pope or Bishop of Bishops can demand. The deference we have mentioned we are ready to pay to him as to every other Christian, but in all other respects our obedience is due to the Jurisdiction of the Bishop of Caerleon , who alone under God, is our ruler to keep us right in the way of salvation".

[Spelman, Concilia,pp108/109.]

The above answer contains enough terms that someone who could legitimately ask a question like "who is the pope of England" would not understand that the following may be more useful:

The Church of England does not have a "Pope". The head of the church is officially the Archbishop of Canterbury, which office is currently (Sep 2010) filled by Rowan Williams.

Answer 2

The Pope is a "Roman Catholic" Leader not a "Christian" leader.

After the Reformation True Christians broke away from the Roman Catholic church whose beliefs were breaking the laws of God. Belief in the Pope broke the second law of God which is Idolatry.

Christians believe that all men are sinful including the Pope.

Answer 3

Pope Francis is the current pope (2013) of the Universal Church. There are no popes of individual countries.
