YOGYAKARTA - When discussing the Pope as the supreme leader of Catholics, it turns out that there are facts that are not widely known by the public. One fact that is not widely known is that the number of whales in the world turns out to be two. Both of them both rely their trust in Jesus. Outside of his teachings, why are there two whales in the world?

In the context of Catholicism, the Pope is the name for the supreme leader for his people. But as mentioned earlier, there are currently two Popes who both lead their people, namely the Pope who lives in the Vatican, Rome, and the Pope in Cairo, Egypt.

The Pope who currently lives in the Vatican is Pope Francis who is the 266th Pope. While the Pope in Cairo, Egypt is Pope Tawadros II or Pope Theodorus II. He is the 118th Pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church or the Egyptian Orthodox Church.

The appearance of the two Popes in Catholic teachings was simply caused by differences in the views of the Catholic bishops. Historically, the beginning of this teaching came from 12 of the late Jesus Christ. They spread their teachings to various regions of the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Africa.

Until the 100 AD, the Catholic Church declared its unity under the blessing of the Roman Bishop's fellowship. It should be noted that of the four Catholic central churches at that time, only the Roman Catholic Church was in West Roman. The church was then chosen to be the Primus Interprares or the first among the same (equivalent).

Then in the 5th century came the teachings of haphazardian which influenced the Eastern Catholic Church. The teachings that spread then influenced the views of the Catholic Bishop (patrark). From there came the flow of the Orthodox Orientist Church. The Orthodox Church stands mostly in Egypt, Armenia, Eritrea, Ethiopia, India, and Syria.

It should be noted that according to the sect, all church leaders have equal standings. Specifically for the leader of the Koptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria in Egypt, his leader received the title of Pope which was intended as respect.

Although it is both recognized by its people, the Pope in the Vatican and in Cairo have several differences, namely as follows.

The Pope at the Vatican is the highest leader in the Roman Catholic Church. The Catholic Church places the Pope as the holder of the top authority over all Catholics in the world. This means that the Vatican Pope is a spiritual, moral and political leader.

Whales in the Orthodox Coptic Church occupy the highest peak for Orthodox Koptics. It should also be noted that the Pope's title in Cairo is taken from the Greek "ppas" which means "Father" or "Father".
