pope's

Vatican leader's belonging

Pope's is the possessive form of pope, indicating something belonging to or associated with the pope—the head of the Roman Catholic Church.

It appears in phrases like the pope's encyclical, the pope's visit to Brazil, or the pope's blessing.

The word can also form compounds: pope's nose is the fatty tail end of a cooked bird, especially a chicken or turkey.
