Catholic Answer
The Holy Father doesn't lead any branch of Christianity for the simple reason that Christianity as established by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, cannot have any "branches". Our Blessed Lord was very emphatic in establishing only one Church, which He founded on the Apostle Peter (and his successors-the Popes), read St. Matthew 16:17-19. The Christian Church is commonly called the Catholic Church. "Branches" of Christianity are actually denominations from a heresy called Protestantism formed in the sixteenth century, which have appropriated the word "Christian" to themselves, which is where the confusion comes in.
