As far as I know the Coptic Catholic patriarch of Alexandria doesn’t use the title “Pope” although I wish he did
 
Because the Alexandrian tradition has called it’s patriarch “Pope” since almost the very beginning. We should allow them to fully embrace this tradition. Unless they don’t want the title themes level out of respect for the Coptic Orthodox
 
The title is used on and off for Syriac, Coptic, even the Ecumenical Patriarch, although that does not mean the jurisdictional claims of the Roman Pope apply to them. The word ‘Pope’ and “Patriarch” simply mean Father and Head-Father.
