The term Holy Roman Church refers strictly to the Church of Rome, the Diocese of Rome, the Holy See or the Apostolic See — they are all one and the same in this context. The incumbent is the Bishop of Rome — the Pope. The Holy Roman Church should not be confused with the Catholic Church even though both are ruled by the Roman Pontiff as the supreme head of the Catholic religion. The Holy Roman Church refers strictly to the local diocese of the city of Rome as founded by St. Peter and St. Paul.
