Sabbatical or a sabbatical (from Latin sabbaticus, from Greek sabbatikos, from Hebrew shabbat, i.e., Sabbath, literally a "ceasing") is a rest from work, or a hiatus, often la…sting from two months to a year.

What is the purpose of the Pope?
The pope is regarded as successor to St Peter. Being one of the apostles, Peter was subject to the same privileges and obligations as the other apostles. Bishops are the e…quivalent in today's Catholic Church. However in Scripture Jesus promised that He would build His Church on Peter and He gave the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven to Peter alone. "You are Peter and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven." (Matthew Ch 16) Taking this at face value the role/purpose of St Peter and his successors is to ensure access to the benefits of the Kingdom of Heaven for those authorized to receive them and this is supported by the instruction "feed my lambs", "feed my sheep". In order to maintain legal harmony between heaven and earth this passage of St Matthew's Gospel also provides that whatever he binds or looses on earth, apparently in the execution of this duty, will also be bound or loosed in heaven. The Pope is the Bishop of Rome and he acts as the leader of the faithful under Jesus Who is the Head of the Catholic church. The Pope is the highest-ranking ordained member in the Catholic Church. His responsibilities include overseeing all decisions made by the Catholic Church, protecting the deposit of faith and seeking that the Church's mission on earth is being conducted. He alone may engage the special charism of the papal office by invoking infallibility on matters of religious doctrine that need final declaration, but this is rarely done. That is not to say he can wantonly change the views and meanings in Catholicism, before he makes such a decision he will spend much time praying on the matter and consulting others. The pope's purpose is to govern the Universal Church so that all will be in communion and represent what Jesus founded, the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. In all other aspects he is a man, liable to sin and even disgrace should he fail in his office or basic virtues. The pope is Bishop of Rome with Christ as the Head of the Catholic church. The word pope comes from the Greek word for shepherd. He is chosen from the cardinals by a unanimous vote to lead the church. There is an unbroken chain of popes starting with the Apostle Peter. Peter's original name was Simon but was changed to Peter when Jesus chose him the lead the church after Jesus' death. Peter comes from the word for stone and Peter was "the rock" on which the church was built. That is also why we have a pope today. Jesus selected a fallible, mortal but devout man to help lead his other followers and we continue this today. He is chosen by his colleagues as the best suited for the office from among them due to his piety, knowledge, administrative acumen and temperament. He is the spokesman of the Church and when new issues arise he is responsible for discerning the position of the Church based on Its doctrine, morals and tradition. Catholics do not worship him or think he is perfect or infallible, they do respect him and trust him as the vicar of Christ. Answer also:The common people were given severely limited access to the Bible, and it had to stay that way. This stand afforded the clergy power over the masses. They did not want the common people dabbling in areas they considered to be their own domain.When and how, then, did the concept of a papacy come about? The idea that it was acceptable for one man to seek prominence over his fellow believers began to take root while the apostles were still alive. Shortly after the last of the apostles died, individuals began to gain more prominence. The Cambridge History of Christianity says: "Probably there was no single 'monarchical' bishop in Rome before the middle of the second century." By the third century, the bishop of Rome established himself as the highest authority, at least for parts of the church.* To add weight to the claim that the bishop of Rome has superior authority, some have compiled a list of Peter's successors.

What is the purpose of chloroplasts?
Chloroplasts are membrane bound organelles in plant cells that contain chlorophyll, which absorbs red light and uses it to hydrolyse water to oxygen gas and hydrogen ions.… These hydrogen ions pass through the electron transport chain, which is a sequence of membrane proteins which use the energy of the ions to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate, the molecule used as a short-term energy store in all living cells). The oxygen is used in respiration or diffuses into the surroundings. The hydrogen ions are transferred by a carrier molecule known as NADP to the calvin cycle, the reaction that makes glucose (sugar) out of carbon dioxide. These two reactions collectively are the process that absorbs energy from sunlight known as photosynthesis. (MORE)
