Well if you want to footnote a pope, according to the Oxford Reference Dictionary for Papistry (3rd Ed), the correct way is thus: Pope John Paul II, Ap. Letter Vicesimus quintus annus, 4 December 1988, n. 3: AAS 81 (1989) p. 899. (for example) Now if you want to Quote a Pope, that's a different matter....
