It seems like if there are so many Jewish leaders in early Christianity you’d be able to name a single other one.
It frankly sounds like you don’t know what you’re talking about. The earliest Christian texts that we have are the writings of Paul, and he was evangelizing to gentiles.
Well, the fact that you’re still using the popes as a measuring stick is puzzling to me, since as I’ve already explained: they were just considered the Bishop of Rome until they consolidated their power against the more influential Greek church, resulting in the Great Schism in 1054.
But practically none of those men listed as Pope (if any) were Jewish. Almost all were Italian-born gentile Christians, and men of political influence. Rome was not the center of Christendom in the early church.

Which was never my point of contention?
