From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

880
When Christ instituted the Twelve, “he constituted [them] in the form of a
college or permanent assembly, at the head of which he placed Peter, chosen
from among them.”³⁹⁸ Just as “by the Lord’s institution, St.
Peter and the rest of the apostles constitute a single apostolic college, so in
like fashion the Roman Pontiff, Peter’s successor, and the bishops, the
successors of the apostles, are related with and united to one
another.”³⁹⁹
