So happy protestants and catholics have good relations these days :) (Smile) I certainly am protestant and not catholic, but i actually would like to have Pope as head of all Christianity. He could be like president ruling autonomic groups. He could represent them but could not dictate what non-catholics could do.
In Finland presidents have often tried to represent entire nation, and many give up their party membership as they become presidents. Pope could not give up being a pope, but its not like he has to compromise between catholic and non-catholic belief, he could just say "this is what X people think and this is what Y people think". Its not like any head of state can claim that his own opinions are shared by entire nation. A good leader would remember the differing opinions. 

Medieval Kings could be King of multiple kingdoms, but he might have limited or different authority in some of them. In 2017, Queen Elizabeth is still head of state of Canada, even though she does not have any legal authority in there (i think).  It could be same for Christians. There are numerous examples of someone from place X representing autonomic area Y. Finland is another example, President of Finland represents Åland even though they are autonomic.
