The Roman Catholic Church has a hierarchical structure of clergy that includes several ranks. At the top is the Pope, followed by Cardinals, who advise the Pope and oversee archdioceses. Below them are Bishops, who govern dioceses, and Priests, who serve local parishes. Deacons are also part of the clergy, assisting priests and performing certain sacraments.
