  Comments:
i think that technically the "pope" sense is not wrong, but it's not supported by any dictionary except nikkoku

other dictionaries say that 法皇=法王, but they point specifically to a sense related to 称徳天皇 or to the buddha sense

to the extent that 法皇 means "pope" it is now probably primarily as iK
