Officials of the Christian Church are the Bishops, the successors to the Apostles, and the Pope, who is their head, and the Vicar of Christ, thus the successor to St. Peter. Christ appointed him as head of His Church in Matthew 16:17-19 and told all of us in addressing His Apostles, "he who hears you hears Me, he would rejects you rejects Me." (Luke 10:16)
