Catholicism

catholic

Rooted in the Nicene Creed, Catholicism is the largest denomination of Christianity and is led by the Pope, who serves as the spiritual successor to Saint Peter. The Pope acts as both the head of the Church and a mediator in conflicts among Christian rulers. Its doctrine and traditions have shaped much of the Western world's religious and cultural history.
