The Catholic Church is organized under It's Head who is Jesus Christ. His vicar on earth is the Holy Father, the Pope in Rome. Under the Holy Father, the entire Church is divided territoritally into dioceses. Each diocese is headed by a Bishop who enjoys the complete authority and power that Jesus Christ has given to His apostles to lead His faithful to heaven. The Bishops are assisted by the priests in each individual diocese. Each priest is ordained for only one bishop and is bound to that bishop and his successors for life. Each Bishop reigns supreme in his diocese, and is only subject to the Pope as Christ's Vicar on earth.
