Vatican figure (4)

I believe the answer is:

pope

(Other definitions for pope that I've seen before include "fisherman's successor" , "Vatican head" , "Francis < Alexander" , "man of great authority" , "Head of RC church" .)

I've seen this clue in the Family Time, the Penny Press and the LA Times.
