Pope
It is the Bishop
of Rome and the leader of the worldwide Catholic
Church. The primacy of the Roman bishop is largely derived from his role
as the traditional successor to Saint Peter, to whom Jesus is supposed to have
given the keys of Heaven and the powers of "binding and loosing",
naming him as the "rock" upon which the church would be built. The current
pope is Francis, who was elected on 13 March 2013, succeeding Benedict XVI.

Peter
He
was also known as Simon Peter, Simeon, or Simōn, according to the New Testament, was one of the Twelve
Apostles of Jesus Christ, leaders of the early Christian Church. The Roman
Catholic Church considers him to be the first Pope, ordained by Jesus in the
"Rock of My Church" dialogue in Matthew 16:18. The ancient Christian
churches all venerate Peter as a major saint and associate him with founding
the Church of Antioch and later the Church in Rome, but differ about the
authority of his various successors in present-day Christianity.
--Pope
Francis
He is the 266th
and current Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, a title he holds ex officio as
Bishop of Rome, and Sovereign of the Vatican City.. Francis is the first Jesuit
pope, the first from the Americas, the first from the Southern Hemisphere and
the first non-European pope since the Syrian Gregory III in 741.
--Pope

Pope of the Catholic Church from 2005 until his resignation in 2013. Benedict
was elected on 19 April 2005 in a papal conclave following the death of Pope
John Paul II and was inaugurated on 24 April 2005.

lame duck
A lame duck, in
politics, is an elected official who is approaching the end of their tenure,
especially one whose successor has already been elected. The official is often
seen as having less influence with other politicians due to their limited time
left in office. Conversely, a lame duck is free to make decisions that exercise
their standard powers with little fear of consequence, such as issuing
executive orders or other controversial edicts. Lame duck politicians result
from term limits, planned retirement, or electoral losses.
