Do people believe that the pope is chosen by God?
The modern day Catholic Church is lead by Man. If one is alluding to Gods church and if the leader is selected by god, then one must remember that the Catholic Church has migrated from being a pure church to more of a church organization with lots of rhetoric and dogma. Many Catholics believe the Pope is gods representative on earth, just as there are many that actually believe this, there are even more that don't believe this.
Roman Catholic AnswerYes, people honestly believe this - that the Pope leads the Catholic Church and that he has been selected by God (through the Cardinals). The vast majority of baptized Christians on the face of this planet are Catholic Christians who most sincerely believe that the Holy Father has been selected by God to fill the shoes of the fisherman. In other words, they believe that he is the successor of St. Peter and Christ's representative on earth. This is most clearly foretold in the Bible, in ancient Israel where the prime minister held the "keys of the Kingdom" and ruled in the King's name. Jesus, while on earth, chose Peter, and his successors, to hold this office, and very clearly gave him the the "keys of the kingdom". Everything in the New Testament is grounded, foreshadowed, etc. in the Old Testament, and we can very clearly see that here.Furthermore, Jesus guaranteed that He would be with His Church until the end of time. That He would guard it from all error. And that there would only be ONE Church. To deny any of this is to call Jesus a liar, to disbelieve in Scripture, to twist the obvious meaning of the Holy Bible, and Our Blessed Savior to try and make them fit facts which are not Truth. To make such a claim about Christ's church in direct opposition to what He, Himself, said about it is to deny God.

Is the pope the teaching authority of the Church?
Catholics, (big C, not catholic) believe that the authority of the Pope comes from the Apostle Peter, whom Jesus said "Upon this Rock I build my Church". The Rock was Peter, to whom he was speaking.

The leader of that Church became the leader of that Christian movement, and was titled the Pope.
The Pope's authority is usually referred to as infallibility. In this sense, however, the word has a slightly different meaning than usual. The Pope is only considered infallible when he makes particular statements on faith or morals that he declares to be contained in divine revelation. The statement, also, can not contradict the already established Sacred Tradition or Sacred Scripture.
This papal authority is rarely used. In fact, only two statements have been officially accepted as papal infallibility. There are approximately seven other statements (issued before papal infallibility was officially defined by the Catholic church) that are often considered instances of papal infallibility.
