The hierarchy of ordained ministers in the Catholic Churcnis mirrors how Jesus and the Apostles set up the original Christian Church.
There are three levels of Holy Orders, Deacon, Priest, and Bishop.
Bishops are the Apostles of today. Each one leads a diocese. Special types of bishop are archbishop, cardinal, and pope (who leads the whole Church).
Priests are co-workers of the bishops and can lead a parish. A special title for a priest is monsignor. Priests are called presbyters in the Bible.
Deacons assist the bishop and priests in the celebration of the Eucharist, in the distribution of Holy Communion, in assisting at and blessing marriages, in the proclamation of the Gospel and preaching, in presiding over funerals, and in dedicating themselves to the various ministries of charity.
With love in Christ.

I don't know if there's a website for it but there are also the patriarchs of the Eastern Orthodox churches and the mainline Protestant denominations are headed by various councils which may have different names like synod depending on the denomination. Don't forget the Archbishop of Canterbury. There are also the political leaders and televangelists who I consider separate from normal pastors.

Don`t forget the Head of the Inquisition-o ya, you already mentioned "the pope"-
Jerry Falwell!
No, he didn`t really qualify as a Christian, it`s that darn "Love" thing that got him mixed up.
Well, looks like you`ll get an A- at least! Hey! How about typing your question in the "search" box! Try: "Coptic", "Orthodox", " Essene", "Ethiopean", "Celtic", "Maronite", "Gnostic", "Mystic"..................
Good Luck anyway!

I think that you are confused...those were individuals that practice their religion but not the religion itself. If you check on the religions, you can basically find the founders of those religions. Like the Muslims and Buddhism, Yahweh, and some others

Is there something making you suspious? consistent with hazard watch his behaviour over the following few weeks? i know it truly is snooping yet are you able to examine his fone to be sure if there are any names you do no longer recognize? if your instinct is attempting to allow you recognize something it truly is often appropriate. I disregarded mine at the instant and boy did I pay the fee!
