The Pope is Our Blessed Lord's Vicar on earth, He first appointed St. Peter as head of His Church (see St. Matthew Gospel, 16:17-19). The Pope, and his successors are the visible sign of Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ's, unity and headship of His Church. Like the Prime Minister on which Our Blessed Lord based it (see Isaiah 22:15-25) there is only one at any one time.
