Pope Who was the first Pope of the Roman Catholic church?

My answer is based on what the Cathloics claim only. This is NOT what I personally believe.
The Catholics say that it was the apostle Peter. They say that Jesus established the office of Pope when he said to Peter "And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." (Matthew 16:18 ASV.) The catholic church regards the
pope as it's visible head and Jesus as it's invisible and supreme head. ]
