The Catholic Church teaches that when Christ placed Peter at the head of the Twelve, the first bishops.
The Lord made Simon alone, whom he named Peter, the "rock" of his Church. He gave him the keys of his Church and instituted him shepherd of the whole flock.
The Pope, Peter's successor, is the perpetual and visible source and foundation of the unity both of the bishops and of the whole company of the faithful.
For the Pope, by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ, and as pastor of the entire Church has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, a power which he can always exercise unhindered.
The Pope’s main roles include teaching, sanctifying, and governing.
For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, section 880-882: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt1sect2chpt3art9p4.htm#880
With love in Christ.

Okay, appear at it this fashion. The Pope is the Senior Official of the Church. Peter used to be the primary amongst his fellow Apostles, the only whom Jesus appointed as being liable, Therefore he used to be the de facto Pope, although the phrase itself didn't exist, neither did the Roman Catholic Church. Rome, correctly, used to be the enemy. Christians in Rome had been murdered if fortunate. If they had been unfortunate, they had been crucified or thrown to lions, however that's an extra difficulty. The phrase Pope or Papa used to be an honorific, that's it used to be a reputation given to the 'guy liable' Siricius (d. 398) decreed that the Title would best refer from then onward to the Bishop of Rome. He used to be the primary head of the Church to be referred to as "Pope".

He delegates.
This is like asking, "how does the president regulate traffic?" He doesn't. He puts systems in place to make sure traffic rules are enforced. Same thing with the pope.
