The first Pope was St. Peter the Apostle. The current Pope is Josef Ratzinger, who took the name Benedict XVI when he became Pope. He is the 265th Pope.
The word "Pope" is derived from the Greek word pápas (which could refer to any Bishop). This word is itself derived from páppas, which means "father." Many languages use the word "papa" instead of "pope."
