The apostle Peter was the first Pope of the Catholic Church. He was given the special authority by Jesus to lead his (Jesus) Church. All popes after Peter are considered to be his successors.
The Eastern Orthodox church existed first and it was Rome who broke away believing they were superior, which differed from the tradition of first amongst equals. The church in Jerusalem was first, and that is Eastern Orthodox, not Roman Catholic.
What religion are you?

All Catholics are Christians, but not Christians are Catholics. Catholicism is the oldest Christian denomination.

Not all, they were just followers of Jesus. Not Catholic for sure.

:( I'm sorry.
I take it you're all better now?
How long had he been dead before he was given the title of pope?
No it isn't. Eastern Orthodox are.
Exactly
