Introduction to Pope Radislav I
His Apostolic Highness the Most Holy Pope Radislav I, Prince-Bishop of Rome-Ruthenia, is Chief of the Roman-Ruthenian Church and State.
The office and title of Roman-Ruthenian Pope were formally conferred in 2014 upon the Prince-Bishop of Rome-Ruthenia, together with full papal authority within his own jurisdiction. The Roman-Ruthenian Pope exercises that office as Supreme Pontiff of the autocephalous United Roman-Ruthenian Church, the Eastern Roman Church with Latin heritage.
He leads this Orthodox and Old Catholic communion in a mission of compassion, service, and worldwide pastoral outreach. His ministry emphasizes meaningful collaboration, human dignity, and the continuity of the historic faith.
More than twenty-five years of international diplomatic and executive leadership inform an approach that brings pastoral concern together with institutional judgment and practical administration.
