The Pope is an episcopal leader, a Bishop.

I thought the Pope was chosen from the Cardinals which in turn are drawn from Bishops. Do you have insight into these leadership domains?

Ah, so a “Pope” is only authoritative in his own diocese, since he is a Bishop (Ekklesia)?

Oops, I meant “episcopos”, not “ekklesia”. I should really doublecheck my Greek before I use it :)
