There are no roots that I can find as yet for p.o.p.e in hebrew .. but
still looking
The following adds more
(Latin papa, from Greek pappas, "father"),
an ecclesiastical title expressing affectionate respect, formerly given,
especially from the 3rd to the 5th century, to any bishop and sometimes to
simple priests.
The title is still used in the East for the Orthodox patriarch of Alexandria
and for Orthodox priests,
but, since about the 9th century, it has been reserved in the West
exclusively for the bishop of Rome.
The twofold basis of this doctrine of papal primacy is the place of
Peter in the New Testament (in which there are various
metaphors expressing his prerogatives)
and the place of the Roman church in history.
The understanding of papal primacy developed
as the church developed, two notable factors
being the role of Rome as the imperial city until the 5th century
and the religious and political role of the bishop of Rome afterward.
