Pope
The Catholic Church regard the Pope as the successor of St Peter, the apostle of Jesus Christ. He is the leader of the Church and purpose is to teach others about the faith and teachings Catholics need to know.
The pope must be virtuous and a good role-model who could lead the Church. The pope may not always be perfect as he is mortal but he has the kind characteristics that are similar to Jesus. The pope is humble, kind, and treats everyone with respect and equality. Similar to Islamic beliefs, the pope is usually serving its members - not commanding them with the power they have. |
The current pope of 2013 is Pope Francis I. He is a successor of St Peter and his predecessor is Pope Benedict VI.
