Priest and Deacon are "helpers" to the Bishop, and thus have a "limited" (so to speak) ordination. Priests can not ordain, and Deacons can not celebrate the Eucharist, hear Confessions, or administer Unction (or Ordain). Archbishop, Cardinal, and Pope are not ordinations, they are all Bishops, with the fullness of Christ's priesthood like any other Bishops. They are ranks of honor or administration; the Holy Father being a completely different order as the successor of Peter - but as far as ordination is concerned, they are all Bishops.
