Answer:

A pope is “a prelate who as bishop of Rome is the head of the Roman Catholic Church”. The pope is considered one of the world’s most powerful people due to the extensive diplomatic, cultural, and spiritual influence of his position on both 1.3 billion Catholics and those outside the Catholic faith, and because he heads the world’s largest non-government provider of education and health care, with a vast network of charities.
