The pope is Bishop of Rome with Christ as the Head of the Catholic church. The word pope comes from the Latin word for father. He is chosen from the cardinals by a unanimous vote to lead the church. There is an unbroken chain of popes starting with the Apostle Peter. Peter's original name was Simon but was changed to Peter when Jesus chose him the lead the church after Jesus' death. Peter comes from the word for stone and Peter was "the rock" on which the church was built. That is also why we have a pope today. Jesus selected a fallible, mortal but devout man to help lead his other followers and we continue this today. He is chosen by his colleagues as the best suited for the office from among them due to his piety, knowledge, administrative acumen and temperment. He is the spokesman of the Church and when new issues arise he is responsible for discerning the position of the Church based on Its doctrine, morals and tradition. Catholics do not worship him or think he is perfect or infallible, they do respect him and trust him as the vicar of Christ

The pope has a busy schedule. He is the Bishop of Rome, so he does Confirmation Masses year round. He also prayers a LOT everyday. I was e-mailed my Bishop secretary and the Bishop was praying for some 3 hours in the morning so I had to wait like FOREVER for a reply. =P The pope also studies ancient texts (but mostly cardinals do this) and write encyclicals. Now, the other people. Well, the Swiss Guards are the policemen. The postal workers at the Vatican do their job. The janitors clean the place. Etc.
