He isn't the Pope, he is only the bishop of Rome, the true Pope is Pope Tawadros II. Look at the history the Coptic Church was using the title Pope long before the Romans thought it sounded nice and stole it.
The Pope is just a bishop like all other bishop, we have what is called the Holy Synod which comprises of all the bishops in our rite and they all have to agree for anything to be passed decision wise. Pope Tawadros II does not hold all the power but he is the "head" in terms of appearance and day to day issues in the Coptic Orthodox church. He is also seen as the leader over all for the Church (there is a word for this I just have forgotten it) because the other sister Churches defer usually to his decision.
