The term "catholic" is claimed by both the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. The Roman Catholic Church includes all the Churches that accept the authority of the pope in Rome, including certain Eastern Churches. The Eastern Orthodox Church does not accept the authority of the pope in Rome. The pope is the spiritual leader of all Christians. However, the Protestants and Orthodox do not recognize that leadership.
The pope in Rome is not the leader of any Orthodox Church. The pope is only the leader of the Roman Catholics and has no jurisdiction (power or authority) over the Orthodox Church, which has its own leaders, such as the Ecumenical Patriarch in Constantinople.

Which pope? ill explain,during the early church when the Orthodox (eastern and oriental) and Catholic church were still one church.Each leader of the 5 ancient sees had a title Constonople,Antioch,Jeruselum all beared the title patariach alone.However the Roman church used bishop of rome and the Alexandrian (coptic) used patarich and pope in conjuction,however this title was not used to assist authority over all the churches anyhow near 1054 AD the bishop of rome began to use the title pope as he belived that he has authority over the eastern and western churches,the patriach of Alexandria still uses the title pope and patraich. The leader of the Catholic church is the succesor of st.peter and the leader of the Coptic orthodox church is the succeser of st.mark. and since the orthodox church (eastern and oriental) do not believe st.peter had authority over the other apostles they do not belive he has authority over the other apsotolic churches which are the orthodox churches
