Pope Leo XIV was given the position of supreme pontiff (pontifex maximus or summus pontifex), Roman pontiff (Romanus pontifex) or sovereign pontiff, is the bishop of Rome (or historically the patriarch of Rome), head of the Catholic Church, and has also served as the head of state or sovereign of the Papal States and later Rome since the eighth century. From a Catholic viewpoint, the primacy of the bishop of Rome is largely derived from his role as the apostolic successor to Saint Peter, to whom primacy was conferred by Jesus, who gave Peter the Keys of Heaven and the powers of "binding and losing", naming him as the "rock" upon which the Church would be built. | |||

In 2020, Dr Gabriel Barclay (the Bishop of Vinish) was appointed as Bishop of Rome by Pope [[King Maximilian I|Maximilian I]]. During his time as the bishop of Rome, Gabriel renovated the altar of [[St. Peter's Basilica]] and the old Papal Palace (which was later removed). He appointed several priests in his office and held several festive masses in [[Seawall Church]] and [[Hagia Sophia]]. On May 2021, Bishop Barclay was appointed as cardinal of Vinish and was awarded the Supreme Order of Christ by H.H. Pope Maximilian I. | |||
