Best Answer

If by Roman Church you are referring to the Latin rite of the Catholic Church, the answer is yes, and so much more. There are a number of other Catholic rites in union with the pope, also. Technically, the pope is the head of the entire Christian Church but is only recognized by the Catholics.
