The leader of a local church was usually a priest.

The leader of a diocese, a group of local churches, was a bishop.

The leader of the main body of the Church, or, after the East-West Schism of 1054, the Roman Catholic Church, was the pope.

The Eastern Orthodox Church was lead by the Patriarch of Constantinople.
