There is no 'vice pope' if that is what you are referring to in your question. The pope, alone, is in charge. Should the pope die, during the interregnum before a new pope is elected, the camarlengo has the responsibility for the day to day management of the Church but can make no major decisions. His main responsibility during that time is to arrange the burial of the pope and plan the upcoming papal conclave. Until a successor Pope can be elected, the Camerlengo serves as the Vatican City's acting head of state. He is not, however, currently responsible for the government of the Catholic Church during a sede vacante. On December 20, 2014, Pope Francis appointed Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran as Camerlengo, succeeding Cardinal Bertone.

As far as who "runs" the Church, each and every Bishop has the fullness of Christ's priesthood, and is in total charge of his local Church - the diocese, completely, the Bishop has total authority in his diocese.
