Pope

Pope on Wikipedia

The Pope is the bishop of Rome and the leader of the worldwide Catholic Church. The term "Pope" comes from the Latin "papa," which means "father." Popes are often referred to with honorific titles like "His Holiness" or "Holy Father." Upon becoming Pope, they usually choose a new name, which they will be known by during their pontificate.

While the Pope's direct political power is limited, his moral and spiritual influence can be significant worldwide, affecting not just Catholics but global policy, ethics, and interfaith dialogue.

Roles

Religious Role

The Pope is the successor of Saint Peter, who was appointed by Jesus Christ as the first head of his church. This makes the Pope the highest authority in the Catholic Church.

Spiritual Leader

He serves as the spiritual leader for over a billion Catholics around the world, guiding them in matters of faith and morals.

Vatican City

The Pope also serves as the head of state for Vatican City, which is an independent city-state enclaved within Rome, Italy. This gives him a unique role both in religious and political spheres, although his political power is largely symbolic in modern times.

Duties

His duties include:

• Leading liturgical celebrations
• Making decisions on church doctrine.
• Appointing bishops and cardinals.
• Proclaiming saints (canonization)
• Representing the Church in international relations.

Election

The Pope is elected by the College of Cardinals through a process known as a conclave. This election happens when the previous Pope dies or, very rarely, resigns. Once elected, a Pope serves for life unless he chooses to resign.
