The Pope himself along with two other Bishops, or any other Bishop he appoints to do it in his place.
The cardinals and bishops work together to govern the Church but the Pope is the ultimate person to make decisions.
The chain of authority goes thusly: Jesus Christ Pope Bishops Priests Deacons Bishops that are head of an Archdiocese are known as Archbishops, Bishops that have been chosen as electors of the new Pope are Cardinals, but they all remain bishops.
