∙ 10y agoThe Pope is a Bishop, and, as with every other Bishop, he has the power bestowed on him by Our Blessed Lord during his ordination and consecration to celebrate the sacraments. The only "power" that the Holy Father has, which other bishops do not have, is the gift of infallibly preaching in the matter of faith and morals to the entire Church - but this is not so much a "power" per se, as a special grace that God extends to His Church.
