Any character that is leading troops on the field can potentially be captured or killed - AFAIK the Pope has no special protections here, and the standard warscore mechanics would apply. So yes, if the Pope gets himself captured he will immediately fall to -100% score as usual for when the primary leader of a war gets captured by the enemy.
