The Catholic Church’s leader is Jesus Christ. Many of His vicars have been declared saints, other have not. There’s a reason why.
If the leader actually was Jesus Christ you would not be taught that you must earn salvation or that you can lose salvation and have to re-up it, or that you can obtain God’s Life in you by drinking the blood of Christ. IF Jesus were the leader of catholicism you would know when you were born from above and then learn to pay attention as His indwelling Spirit spanked you for disobedience and gently teach you the Way that you should go. If Jesus Christ were the Leadership of The Catholic Church, so many Catholics would not be voting for the servants of evil in every election. If Jesus were your Lord and Savior you would not be bowing to Mary and pretending she is the mother of God instead of the mother of the Human side of Jesus. If You allowed Jesus to be Lord you would not have idols as a means to seek Him. You would not be repeating the error of the Israelites who eventually made brass snakes and worshipped them for empowerment. You would need no mediatrix to the Sovereign Lord of All, if you actually had Him as Head of your religion, for you would believe His Promises, one specific one of which is that you may yourself approach the Throne of God Because Jesus is your Great Intercessor, not his mother or past dead devout men and women who followed every yot and tittle of Catholicism’s mysteries..
