| 词源 | pope. As Gary Wills points out in Why I Am a Catholic (2002), the title “pope was not reserved for the bishop of Rome until the 5th century,” though it applied to any bishop before then. The word pope comes ultimately from Greek pappas, fa- ther, or daddy, an infant’s word for father. There have been 263 popes of the Catholic Church. |
