There is only one Catholic pope at a time in society.
There have been a total of 265 popes including Peter.
Popes have been around since the days of Saint Peter. They did not use the title of pope until many years later, however, but there has always been a man in the position as leader of Christianity.
Of the 266 popes in the history of the Church, only about 80 have been declared as saints.
