In the 21st century, the Pope was the bishop of Rome, the leader of the Catholic Church, and the head of state of Vatican City. In the 31st, the office appears to have been replaced with that of the Space Pope.

In 3008, Fry was tentacle pope of the world. ^[TBwaBB]

Quotes

Fry: My folks were always on me to groom myself and wear underpants. What am I, the Pope?
[Amy laughs.]
Amy: Yeah, and if you were the Pope they'd be all, "Straighten your pope hat", and, "Put on your good vestments".
^[2ACV07]

Fry: I've been kind of preoccupied.
Bender: With what?
Fry: Well, I went to another universe, and I fell in love with a giant octopus, and now I'm pope of a new religion.
Bender: Weren't you already pope of somethin'?
Fry: No.
^[TBwaBB]

Fry: She had to have four other boyfriends! I guess she never thought I'd become tentacle pope of the world!
Colleen: You know what? It's true! You weren't enough for me! No one man is! You were great, but you weren't Chinese, you weren't Cameroonian, and you certainly were not the "king of karaoke". as you so often claimed. [Fry is aghast.] And if your ego can't take that, then you don't deserve to be tentacle pope of anything!
^[TBwaBB]

Zoidberg: You're on in five minutes, Excellency. You sure you don't want your comedy pope staff?
[The staff moves up and down and a slide whistle is heard.]
Fry: The tentacle monster is about to address the world. It's too serious.
^[TBwaBB]

Bender: I'm lookin' for a versatile smoke. One that's equally good in a crowded elevator or an audience with the Pope.
Moustached alien: Forget the Pope, my friend. Smoke one of these and God himself will ask to be seated far away from you.

[A fire alarm goes off.]
Fry: What's that? Did they pick a new pope?
^[7ACV18]

Fry: Finally, I'm as rich as the Pope!
