Why have you cut off Egypt? It has a pope density of 0.000002 popes per square kilometer.

I will change my name to Pope to make this not true anymore

u/Miiyamoto 1d ago

Then one country has a "Pope" in a ratio of 1:number of inhabitants of your country -1, which would be represented as 0 percent.

u/Hej5468 1d ago

No it would be represented as 1/(total area on my country in km^2)

Isn't there a pope for the eastern authodox?

u/Kerbourgnec 1d ago

There used to be multiple patriarch, and one happened to be the patriarch of Rome. In the great schism, the one in Rome happened to be the only one in the Western part. One patriarch -> THE Pope.

Orthodox Christianity multiple patriarchs

Isn’t there a pope in Egypt?

u/DaveBeleren02 20h ago

Sort of, the head of the Coptic Church is sometimes referred to as the "Coptic pope". His official title is "Papa abba" which always makes me imagine an old priest in full Spandex jamming to dancing queen
