Antonios and consecrated him General Bishop for Christian Education and as Dean of the Coptic Orthodox Theological Seminary, whereupon he assumed the name Shenouda, which was the name of the Coptic saint, Shenoute the Archimandrite ( lived 347 / 348 – 465 / 466 ), as well as two previous popes: Shenouda I ( Episcopate 859 – 880 ) and Shenouda II ( Episcopate 1047 – 1077 ).

These campaigns, among other things, called for popular election of bishops and priests, a principle that Bishop Shenouda later applied when he became Pope of Alexandria.

This conflict between Pope Cyril VI and Bishop Shenouda was later resolved.

Some Copts argue that the choice of Pope Shenouda III as Pope ( and Bishop ) of Alexandria was not canonical, as Shenouda was already a bishop ( although without a diocese ), arguably violating Canon 15 of the Council of Nicea against the translation of bishops from one See to another.

This issue caused an ongoing dispute in the Coptic Orthodox Church since 1928, and although the Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Church considered in the 1960s the General Bishops to be secretaries to the Pope in the degree of a Bishop, Pope Shenouda III was sometimes considered to be the fourth Bishop to become a Pope after Popes John XIX ( 1928 – 1942 ), Macarius III ( 1942 – 1944 ) and Joseph II ( 1946 – 1956 ).

In September 1981, President Sadat rescinded the presidential decree of 1971 recognizing Bishop Shenouda as Pope of Alexandria.

A possible timeline ( subject to extension by committees ) for the election of the 118th Pope published by Bishop Angaelos suggested enthronement a little more than 151 days after the death of Shenouda III, i. e. in late August 2012.

This is a customary title, which many patriarchs of Alexandria have held since the episcopacy of St. Justus ( the 6th Bishop of Alexandria ), and which was recently revived by Pope Shenouda III.
