Jesus Christ appointed Peter as the first leader of his Church when He said:
And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven. (Matthew Chapt. 16)
Peter is considered the first pope even though the term 'pope' did not come into common usage until much later.

"Amen I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth, shall be loosed also in heaven. "
Our Lord told Peter that whatever rules he made for the Church on earth would also be honored in Heaven. The Church applies this only to matters of faith and morals and only when the pope makes it clear that he is speaking infallibly.
