Pope

Coat-of-arms of the Pope

The Pope is the religious head of Catholicism, regarded as a successor of Saint Peter, whom Jesus appointed as the leader of the new Christian community before his death. The Pope is the head of state of the Vatican City, an enclave within the capital city of Rome in Italy, and the Popes used to rule over the Papal States of central Italy before the Italian Unification led to the conquest of the Papal States by Sardinia-Piedmont. The Pope is currently one of the most powerful people on Earth, as they are responsible for the expansion of Christianity, interfaith dialogue, charitable work, and human rights work.
