Coptic Pope
From ReformedWiki.org, the wiki for Reformed Christianity
The Coptic Pope, or the Pope of Alexandria, to the Oriental Orthodox Churches simply known as the Pope, is the leader of the Oriental Orthodox denomination. Similar to how Roman Catholicism teaches that the Pope of Rome is descended from an unbroken line of leaders going back to Peter the Apostle, the Oriental Orthodox believe that the Pope of Alexandria is descended from an unbroken line of leaders going back to Mark the Evangelist.
