Why Does Jerome Call Epiphanius 'Pope'?
I thought only Alexandrian and later Rome used this title.
http://books.google.com/books?id=-bA...ius%22&f=false There are many, many other examples. |

Epiphanius is a pope of the greek church, not the bishop of Rome.

IIUC, in Eastern Orthodoxy each bishop was also a "father" (Pope).

‘Pope’ does not necessarily mean a Roman Catholic title.

Pope
O.E. papa, from M.L. papa "bishop, pope" (in classical L., "tutor"), from Gk. papas "patriarch, bishop," originally "father." Applied to bishops of Asia Minor and taken as a title by the Bishop of Alexandria c.250. In Western Church, applied especially to the Bishop of Rome since the time of Leo the Great (440-461) and claimed exclusively by them from 1073. Popemobile, his car, is from 1979. Papal, papacy, later acquisitions in English, preserve the original vowel. http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=pope |
