The Pope, also known as His Holiness, is a Catholic bishop and monarch who directs the Catholic Church, the Holy See, and the Diocese of Rome. This position is part of the Catholic Church hierarchy and has at various times applied to the jurisdiction of Vatican City, the Papal States, and the Catholic Church. The office is held by a noble title referred to as pope, with male forms including papa, Papst, and Poopst.

The Pope resides in the Apostolic Palace and the Quirinal Palace. The position is elected by the College of Cardinals, with the next lower rank being cardinal-bishop. The Pope normally uses the popemobile for transport. Official websites for the Holy Father are hosted at vatican.va. The subject is described in sources such as the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary and the Encyclopædia Britannica 11th edition. A list of popes is available, and the topic has a history documented in the history of the papacy.
