The '''Bishop of Rome''' is one of the titles of the [[Pope]], because he is the spiritual leader of the Roman [[diocese]] as well as leader of the whole of the [[Catholic Church]]. By contrast, the [[Orthodox]] churches believe in a number of different bishops, such as the Bishop of Antioch, who are co-equal in their positions of Church leadership; there is no Pope figure in Eastern Orthodox Christianity. | The '''Bishop of Rome''' is one of the titles of the [[Pope]], because he is the spiritual leader of the Roman [[diocese]] as well as leader of the whole of the [[Catholic Church]].
