Papacy

According to traditional Catholic teaching, St. Peter was selected by Christ to be the head of the Apostles, and through them the head of the entire Catholic Church. St. Peter passed on this office to a successor of his named Linus who was head of the church in Rome, and he in turned passed it on, and so on and so forth.
Today, the Pope, the bishop of Rome and successor of St. Peter, is head of the Roman Catholic Church, and is considered by Catholics to be the Vicar of Christ on Earth and spiritual head of all Christians. 
== Facts: ==
-Every Pope down through history has been fully aware of the existence of the Adepts, and many of them have been Adepts themselves. 
-The Order of Priests is closely tied to the Papacy. Historically, the Priests have been a major force unseen behind the power of the Papcy. 
-The Legend of the Black Pope is true, however, the much feared 'dark papa' is not a sinister leader of some shadowy cabal within the Vatican, but instead is the head exorcist in charge of making sure outside Supernatural forces do not interfere the Church's doings. In the world of the Adepts, such a position is vital for an organization like the Catholic Church, which never seems to have a shortage of enemies.
