is the pope christian
Best Answer: The pope is Catholic, thus he is de facto, christian. Catholics *ARE* Christian. One is the name of a specific faith (Catholic). The other is an all encompassing name for a group of faiths (ei, Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist, etc, are Christian).hristians don't believe in the authority of the pope but Catholic Christians do. Christians don't have the eucharist, some have some sort of representation but do not actually believe in the actual presence of Jesus. And Catholics honor Mary while some Christians think we worship her.
