| | Bishop of Rome |
 | | Outside of the Roman Catholic Church, inclusive of the Oriental Orthodox Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Bishop of Rome is accorded historical title to "first among equals" among the overseers of the church, and "Supreme Patriarch of the Western Church". | | | The Bishop of Rome is an ecclesiastical title of the Pope, and is used in preference to Pope by some who choose to reflect their rejection of his claims of authority over all Christians in their terminological discourse. | | | The Catholic traditions all teach that the Bishop of Rome is the successor of the Apostle, Saint Peter. |

| | Roman tradition claimed that Rome had been under the control of seven kings from 753 to 509 BC beginning with the mythic Romulus who along with his brother Remus were said to have founded the city of Rome. | | | Phocas recognized their primacy over that of the Patriarch of Constantinople and even decreed Pope Boniface III (607) to be "the head of all the Churches". | | | Rome has two holidays of its own: April 21 (the founding of Rome), and June 29 (the feast of its patron saints, Peter and Paul). |

| | Bishop of Rome is Peter’s Successor February 3, 1993 |
| | The Bishops of Rome have generally spoken, taught, defended Christ's truth, celebrated pontifical rites and blessed the faithful in the name of Peter and Paul, the "Princes of the Apostles", the olivae binaepietatis unicae, as is sung in the hymn for their feast on 29 June. | | | The See of Rome is thus the criterion and measure of the apostolic authenticity of the various Churches, the guarantee and principle of their communion in universal "charity", the foundation (kephas) of the visible organism of the Church established and ruled by the risen Christ as the "eternal Shepherd" of the entire sheepfold of believers. | | | The Bishop of Rome is the Successor of Peter; however, he can also be called the heir of Paul, the greatest representative of the early Church's missionary efforts and of the wealth of her charisms. |

| | Directly under the bishop are the clergy, both secular and religious. | | | The bishop is the chief liturgical figure in the diocese and is distinguished from the priest principally by the power to confer holy orders and to act as the usual minister of confirmation. | | | The bishop has the highest jurisdictional powers within the diocese: He has the right to admit priests to his diocese and to exclude them from the practice of ministry within it, and he assigns priests of his diocese to parishes and other duties. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Hippolytus of Rome |
| | The fact that Hippolytus was a schismatic Bishop of Rome and yet was held in high honour afterwards both as martyr and theologian, explains why as early as the fourth century nothing was known as to his see, for he was not on the list of the Roman bishops. | | | Hippolytus was a presbyter of the Church of Rome at the beginning of the third century. | | | Eusebius says that he was bishop of a church somewhere and enumerates several of his writings (Hist. |

| | Bishop of Rome |
| | For a bishop (episcopon) as God's steward must be blameless, not arrogant, not irritable, not a drunkard, not aggressive, not greedy for sordid gain, holding fast to the true message as taught so that he will be able both to exhort with sound doctrine and to refute opponents. | | | It is not uncommon for enemies and non-believers of Roman Catholicism to create an argument against the succession and therefore validity of the Bishops of Rome as true successors to Peter by proffering the history of the "bad Popes." That argument arises from a basic misunderstanding of Sacred Scripture. | | | Two great historians of the Church, Eusebius of Caesarea, a bishop and historian of the Council of Nicaea, and Augustine, bishop and theologian, preserve for us the list of successors of the bishop of Rome to their own time. |

| | Early tradition of the church seeks to demonstrate that the bishop of Rome was in direct line from Peter, claimed as the city's first bishop. | | | The bishops of Rome claimed a role as final authority in local disputes, and the right to lead the increasingly centralized church. | | | In New Testament times, elder, presbyter, and bishop were names used interchangeably for the leaders of the local church. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope St. Linus |
| | Perhaps it was on account of these dates that the writers of the fourth century gave their opinion that Linus had held the position of head of the Roman community during the life of the Apostle; e.g., Rufinus in the preface to his translation of the pseudo-Clementine "Recognitiones". | | | It cannot be doubted that according to the accounts of Irenaeus concerning the Roman Church in the second century, Linus was chosen to be head of the community of Christians in Rome, after the death of the Apostle. | | | There was nothing in the liturgical tradition of the fourth-century Roman Church to prove this, because it was only at the end of the second century that any special feast of martyrs was instituted and consequently Linus does not appear in the fourth-century lists of the feasts of the Roman saints. |

| | As a primary example, when first century texts apply episkopos or bishop to several individuals in the same community, these critics conclude that this plurality ipso facto shows that there was no bishop at all in those communities because the narrow definition assumed by these critics requires one solitary bishop per community. | | | To summarize, a good first century definition of bishop would be that of a shepherd especially charged to forcefully protect the sound doctrine and peace of the local church. | | | This reference to Christ as Bishop is important because critical scholars have a tendency to say that an apostle like Peter was not a mere administrator as they say episkopos implies. |

| | Clement of Rome, Bishop |
| | A probable alternate explanation, however, is that the troubles in Corinth had arisen when the bishop of that congregation had died, and the congregation had split into factions, none containing both a majority of the presbyters and a majority of the congregation. | | | From this, some have inferred that the office of bishop had not yet developed at either Rome or Corinth, and that in both congregations the office of presbyter was the highest office known. | | | However, a letter from Corinth to Rome a few decades later refers to "the letter we received from your bishop Clement, which we still read regularly." Other early writers are unanimous in attributing the letter to Clement. |
