Catholic AnswerThe head of the Catholic Church has always been Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ. His Vicar on earth is the Holy Father in Rome. It has been this way for two thousand years, except for a brief period in the 14th century when the Papacy was in Avignon.Wiki User

It wasn't the same guy for 250 years, though.

The Church of England played a significant role in the religious and political landscape of England during this time, as it was used to legitimize the king's divorce and the subsequent break with Rome.
