	Primacy of the Roman Pontiff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The primacy of the Roman pontiff is the monarchical authority of the bishop of Rome, from the Holy See, over the several Churches that compose the Catholic Church in the Latin and Eastern Rites.
		It is also termed "papal primacy", [1] "primacy of Peter", [2] or "Roman primacy"; [3] one might encounter "Peter in primacy over the universal Church," [4] "Successor of Peter", [5] and other related expressions.
		The Eastern Orthodox churches consider that the Bishop of Rome has a primacy of honor that, since the East-West Schism, is no longer in force.

	Roman Catholic Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The adjective "Roman" was applied in the context of the English Reformation to the title of the Church to qualify the claim to universality implicit in the title "Catholic" (which means "Universal").
		Within the Catholic Church, the term "Roman Catholic Church" is rather applied to a portion of the Catholic Church, namely the Western or Latin Church, to the exclusion of the Eastern-Rite particular Churches in full communion with the Pope, all of which are part of the same Church taken as a whole.
		In certain circumstances, this papal primacy, which is referred to also as the Pope's Petrine authority or function, involves papal infallibility, i.e.

	Pontifex Maximus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Roman Republic, the Pontifex Maximus was the highest office in the polytheistic Roman religion, which was very much a state cult.
		Since the Pontifices were often politicians, and because a Roman magistrate's term of office corresponded with a calendar year, this power was prone to abuse: a Pontifex could lengthen a year in which he or one of his political allies was in office, or refuse to lengthen one in which his opponents were in power.
		The secular equivalent of the emperor as Pontifex Maximus is the philosopher-king of the Greek sages, with whom the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius is said to have identified, as a stoic, and to which the Prussian king Frederick the Great and the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte aspired, both as philosophes.

		This power of the supreme pontiff by no means detracts from that ordinary and immediate power of episcopal jurisdiction, by which bishops, who have succeeded to the place of the apostles by appointment of the holy Spirit, tend and govern individually the particular flocks which have been assigned to them.
		Therefore, such definitions of the Roman pontiff are of themselves, and not by the consent of the church, irreformable.

	POPE FACTS AND INFORMATION
		The Roman Catholic Church teaches that "it is absolutely necessary for the salvation of every creature to be united to the Roman Pontiff" (Pope_Boniface_VIII).
		The primacy is therefore regarded as a consequence of the pope's position as bishop of the original capital city of the Roman_Empire, a definition explicitly spelled out in the 28th canon of the Council_of_Chalcedon.
		The Papacy's complex relationship with the Roman and Byzantine_Empires, and other secular states, and the Papacy's territorial claims in Italy, are another focal point of these objections; as is the monarchical character of the office of Pope.
