No it is not. The Pope is the last absolute monarch in the world. He is elected by the college of cardinals (there is an age restriction of 80 on the cardinals permitted to vote). The cardinals are appointed by the Pope. The Pope also appoints all officers of government. The Pope can appoint "secret cardinals" whos identity is known to the other cardinals but not anyone else. There are some adult citizens of Vatican City who are not permitted to vote. This is not democracy.
