Bishop of Rome. Successor of Peter. Vicar of Christ. Serving as the pope is a unique and remarkable responsibility.
Though some of the day-to-day tasks of the pontiff have changed with time, at its core the papacy has always held true to the very same mission that our Lord entrusted to St. Peter: to shepherd the Church. In this episode, we examine what, exactly, is expected from this supreme "servant of the servants of God."
This is the second episode of a five part series on the Papacy. Learn more and see other episodes here.
