The Holy Father's duties back in the Middle Ages were exactly the same as they are today - to be Christ's Vicar on earth, to guide His Church, and to shepherd it until the end of the world. Christ is the head of His Church on earth, and He appointed St. Peter (and his successors - the Popes) as His Vicar on earth, see Matthew 16:17-19 which is based on Isaiah 22:15-25.
