A:
The Bible tells us that the earliest Christian officials were the apostles, and that deacons soon followed. Non-canonical writings are evidence that wandering preachers were common, but did not hold any official positions. As the Church grew larger in the second century, bishops began to be appointed.
It is thought that the title 'pope' might have been used by most bishops from the late second century onwards, but now only the Roman Catholic pope and the Coptic pope use this title.
