The bishop and patriarch? of Rome, supreme spiritual leader of the Roman Catholic church and the [Eastern Rite]? Catholic Churches. He is also the head of the Vatican state. The pope is elected for life by a secret vote of those cardinals who are under the age of 80.

Jesus' disciple Peter is considered by Roman Catholics to be the founder of the Christian church and the first pope.
