,no edit summary
The '''Holy See''' ([[Latin]]: ''Sancta Sedes'', lit. "holy seat") is the [[episcopal see]] of [[Rome]]. The incumbent of this see is the [[Bishop of Rome]], more commonly referred to as the [[Pope]]. The term '''Holy See''', as used in [[Canon law (Catholic Church)|Canon law]], also refers to the Pope and the [[Roman Curia]]—in effect, the central government of the [[Roman Catholic Church]]—and is the sense more widely used today.
