Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) reject the Pope because they aren't Catholic. Only Catholics follow the Pope.

What is the head teacher of the Mormons called?

Depends on what you mean by "head teacher." If you are asking about founders, the answer would be Joseph Smith, Jr. If you are referring to people in charge of everything, (like the Pope is to Catholicism), the answer is the Prophet or President of the Church. If this question is more theologically based, most mormons would probably answer, "Jesus Christ."


Which are the christian groups that not recognizing pope as their head?

The pope is the head of the Catholics. Basically, all other Christians don't recognize the pope as their head. That includes many different Protestant groups, Mormons, and Orthodox Christians. Some Christians other than Catholics have their own pope, but of course they won't recognize "the" pope, i.e., the Catholic pope.


Is Sedevacantism Catholic?

Sedevacantism is the belief that the See of Rome is vacant - that is, they believe that the Pope is not really the Pope. Being Catholic means being in communion with the bishop of Rome, the pope. So if you reject that the pope is the pope, you are not Catholic. Sedevacantists are not members of the Catholic Church, though they would claim to be the only true members. The ritual and theology may be catholic in some sense, or reflective of a particular period in Catholic history, but in itself that does not make a person or a group Catholic.
