The Roman Catholic Church consists of those Christians in full communion with the Bishop of Rome (more commonly
called the [[Pope]]). The Church traces the papal authority as the leader of Christianity to the first Bishop of Rome, the apostle [[Peter]]. Unlike many [[Protestant]] churches, the Roman Catholic Church is does not follow the doctrine of ''sola scriptura'' or
''sola fides''. The Church believes that both faith and works are necessary for salvation and that tradition and reason should be used to aide interpretation of the Bible. The church has a complex hierachy of clergy involving
[[priests]], [[bishops]], [[archbishops]] and [[cardinals]].
