Giovanni was a roman catholic. Roman catholics have beliefs in the authority of the pope. Other beliefs include the realism of heaven, that the bread used in Eucharist becomes the body of Christ when blessed by a priest, and that saints can intercede on behalf of believers. St. Peter was considered the first pope. In the beginning of the church the pope did not exist. Early on, in the times of persecution, the church was made primarily on survival. In 318 AD the church began its own government system.
