Who comes after the pope?
Bishop is the rank below pope and includes archbishops. Cardinals are not an integral part of the hierarchy and, to be named a cardinal, one need only be a priest. However, before 1917, a cardinal need not be even a priest. Pope John XXIII made it a rule that all cardinals must be named a bishop if they become a cardinal but the person can request an exemption to the rule. However, if a cardinal is not a bishop he cannot be elevated to pope until he has been consecrated a bishop.
Why did Pope Benedict join the priesthood?
From a very early age he wanted to become a priest. When he was only five years of age he was part of a group of school children sent to greet a cardinal who was visiting his home time. Joseph (the future pope) was quite taken by the vestments of the cardinal and told his parents that he "wanted to become a cardinal" when he grew up. He never lost that dream.
