The Pope calls himself "Holy Father", "Head of the Church", and the "Vicar of Christ". These are Titles that belong to the three Persons of the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, respectively). Is it blasphemous for the Pope to claim such titles for himself?
"Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven." - Matthew 23:9
For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. - Ephesians 5:23
"But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you." - John 16:7
