The Pope has no power - per se - over Catholics. The pope is the Vicar of Christ, he is the final arbitrator on earth of what is and what is not Christian dogma, how the liturgy should be celebrated, and how Christians should behave. 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.
