Who the founder of the roman Catholic religions in his world?
Jesus Christ founded the Roman Catholic Church in this world. However, it was actually instituted (physically brought into existence) by St. Peter whom Christ gave a special mission to. If you look at Matthew 16:18, you'll see that Christ gives authority to Peter to found His Church. Peter took this mission to Rome, which was the center of the government, culture, and commerce at his time and he decided to found the church there. Thus the church is called the Roman Catholic Church.

What role does a pope have and why do you need a pope?
The pope's main role is being the successor to the Apostle Peter whose mission was given to him by Christ. After Christ's Resurrection, when He and a few of His disciples (Peter among them) was eating breakfast of fish and bread on the Sea of Galilee, Jesus asked Peter 3 times if Peter loved Him and each time when Peter said "yes" Jesus gave him the command to feed the sheep and take care of them. (See John 21:15-19 in any Christian Bible). This command by Christ to Peter was that when Jesus returned to Heaven (His Ascension), it would be Peter's mission to lead Christ's Church. The sheep are members of Christ's flock, the people, and the popes who is/are Peter's successors continue that mission given to Peter to lead the Church until Christ returns during the End Times. The Pope has many roles, mainly to be a priest and a pastor to all Catholics. We need a pope to continue the Apostle Peter's mission but also to keep the Church on the right path set forth by Christ and to keep all heresy and other sins out of the Church that would soil the Word of God. This is a basic overview of having a pope. If you would like to learn more just go to any Catholic websites to learn more about the pope, his roles/duties, and so forth.

Why was Saint Simon's name changed to Peter?
Simon was given the name Peter by Jesus, which means "rock" in Greek. This name change symbolized Peter's role as the foundation of the Christian church, as Jesus told him, "on this rock I will build my church." Peter's leadership and faith played a pivotal role in the early Christian community.
Who is the founder of Catholic church?
Saint Peter ---- The Lord Jesus Christ founded and instituted the Catholic Church in concert with His Father and with the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, when God descended upon the Apostles and inspired them to preach the Good News to all the nations. To preach the Good News and make disciples of all men is precisely the Church's mission, and that is where it all began, just days after Jesus' death and resurrection. The mission of the church has been the same down to our own day. The unbroken apostolic succession of popes beginning with Peter is an important sign of the authority the Church has in Christ Jesus, but it may also be said this unchanging mission is one of the key elements that links the Church in our own day with our Apostolic past.
What does power of the keys mean in the Church?
This power was given to St. Peter to symbolize the authority he would have to access the kingdom of heaven.
