Who is the head of the Roman Catholic Church?

A Cardinal
A Bishop
The Pope
A Deacon

The correct answer is: The Pope

The head of the Roman Catholic Church is the Pope. The Pope serves as the spiritual leader and is considered the Bishop of Rome, holding a unique position of authority over the entire Catholic Church worldwide. The Pope's responsibilities include providing guidance on matters of faith and moral theology, overseeing the administration of sacraments, and representing the Catholic Church in diplomatic affairs. In contrast, Cardinals are senior church officials who assist the Pope in governance and have a role in electing the Pope during a conclave. Bishops oversee individual dioceses and manage local church matters but do not possess the universal authority that the Pope holds. Deacons serve in a supportive role within the church, assisting bishops and priests but do not have the same level of authority within the hierarchy of the Church. Understanding the distinct roles within the Church hierarchy helps clarify the unique position the Pope holds as the head of the Roman Catholic Church.
