== Elevation to Pope of Alexandria and Ethiopian Church Crisis ==
He was consecrated as Pope Shenouda III, the 117th Pope of Alexandria and [[Patriarch]] of the [[See]] of [[St. Mark]] on [[November 14]], [[1971]], nearly 9 months after the departure of Pope Kyrollos VI (See [[Pope Cyril VI of Alexandria]]).
Following the arrest, imprisonment and subsequent execution of [[Abune Tewophilos]], Patriarch of [[Ethiopia]], by the Marxist [[Derg]] regime that had deposed Emperor [[Haile Selassie]] in 1974, Pope Shenouda III refused to recognize the cleric who was installed as the Ethiopian Patriarch's successor. He argued that the removal of Patriarch Abune Tewophilos was illegal and un-canonical, and that in the eyes of the Church of Egypt and the Coptic Papacy, Abune Tewophilos remained legitimate Patriarch of Ethiopia. As the government of [[Ethiopia]] refused to aknowledge that the Patriarch had been executed, the Coptic Church refused to recognize any other Patriarch as long as Abune Tewophilos was not confirmed dead. Thus formal ties between the Churches of Egypt and Ethiopia were severed although they remain in full communion.

== Supervised worldwide growth of the Church ==
His papacy has coincided with a worldwide expansion of the Coptic Orthodox Church: while there were only four Coptic churches in all of [[North America]] in 1971, today there are more than two hundred. The growth of the [[United States of America|American]] Coptic church has been such that in 1996, Shenouda installed the first two [[diocese|Diocesan]] Bishops for the United States — one for [[Los Angeles, California]] and the other for the [[American South|Southern United States]].
In the [[Caribbean]], Mission churches have been founded in [[Bermuda]], [[St. Kitts]], and in the [[U.S. Virgin Islands]] in [[Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands|St. Thomas]].
