pope is derived from the greek word "pappas," and is an affectionate term applied to the head of the Roman Catholic Church, hence it is capitalized. It literally means "papa" as used in English, or similar to "daddy."

The Pope is the visible head of the universal Christian Church, appointed and ordained by Jesus Christ Himself, to serve as the personal vicar of Christ, and the servant of the people of God. Christ empowered him with full authority over the Christian Church, symbolized by the keys to the kingdom which he alone holds. Christ realized that unity cannot exist without true authority and that truth cannot exist without unity. This is why those who recognize the Pope's supreme authority have remained united in belief and united in worship for 2,000 years, just as Christ intended, while those who reject his authority have fragmented into thousands of conflicting bodies teaching hundreds of contradictory beliefs in a few hundred years.

"Pope" is the traditional title for the office of the Bishop of Rome, the earthly leader of the whole Church, the last supreme monarch on the planet, who answers only to God.
