First of all the pope didn't make Christ a "god." Christ is THE God, not A god. The pope had nothing to do with Christ being God.
So the shortest answer possible is: He hasn't.

Do catholics believe the pope is christ on earth?
Great heavens, no. The Pope, in Catholic doctrine, is the servant of the servants of God. He is the successor of St. Peter. Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, chose St. Peter to be His Vicar on earth, read St. Matthew 16:17-19 where Our Blessed Lord appoints St. Peter as head of the Church. This is based on Isaiah 22:15 and following where God appoints the Vicar of the House of David and gives him the keys of David's house, just as Christ gave the keys to the Kingdom of God to St. Peter. The Pope is the successor to St. Peter, he is Christ's Vicar on earth, he is certainly not God on earth, although we are lucky enough to have God's own guarantee that His Vicar will always give us the truth.

But he never teaches on his own, he only teaches for Our Blessed Lord. Thus any "power" would be God's, and the Pope would only be His mouthpiece.
Is the pope viewed as a god?
