The Roman Pontiff.

Anglican Catholic Answer!

Rather is the Roman Pontiff, the Bishop of Rome and Primate of the West. There is no Bishop of the Whole Catholic Church, but the Bishop of Rome has precedence because his SEE, Rome was founded by two apostles, S.Paul and S.Peter. Also the governing bodies of the Church, the Seven Ecumenical Councils because ,'Old Rome,' was the capital of the Roman Empire at one time, the Bishop was given pre eminence. It was a political decision to please the Roman Emperor!

All bishops are equally bishops of the Catholic Church!
