Why is the pope called the pontiff?

pontiff: Today, it's strictly accurate to call any Catholic bishop a pontiff, but the vast majority of Catholics reserve the word for the Bishop of Rome, otherwise known as the Pope. The word means "high priest," from a root meaning "bridge-maker."

 

 

Pontifex maximus
The pope (Latin: papa, from Greek: πάππας, romanized: pappas, "father"), also known as the supreme pontiff (Pontifex maximus) or the Roman pontiff (Romanus Pontifex), is the bishop of Rome, chief pastor of the worldwide Catholic Church, and head of state or sovereign of the Vatican City State.

 

 

What does pontiff mean in Latin?
pontiff (n.)

1600, "high priest," from French pontif (early 16c.), from Latin pontifex, title of a Roman high priest (see pontifex).

The Pope cares about the world's poor. I'm not Catholic but I respect him. You know what helps the world's poor? Capitalism. Letting in foreign investment into places like Iraq. Trading currencies allows the flow of capital around the world, does more good in helping the world's poor, than anything else. The Pope has the right moral message, but the way to bring good morals in, the way to help the poor is to make the country rich. Iraq has unlimited potential. Let the world in, let the currency loose. We will make a lot of money, while helping the world's poor. There is no real conflict between the Pope's message and solid economics. The Pope has the moral goal. Capitalist economics has the method. ⛪🕌🕋🕍
