The Pope or bishop of the city of Rome is the highest ranking religious authority in the Roman Catholic Church and its worldwide leader. The word pope originates from the Latin word for father-Papa. It was first used in a religious meaning at the 3rd Century AD.
While the Pope is the head of the Church, he actually only personally controls the assets of the Holy See (the Vatican) and the Diocese of Rome. Individual dioceses (e.g. Archdiocese of New York, etc.) own their own property as do individual religious orders (e.g.. Franciscans, Jesuits, Dominicans, etc.).
