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.
The word "innocent" best describes the relationship between the lamb and the child in William Blake's poem. It symbolizes purity, gentleness, and a sense of unity between the child and the lamb.
The primary way that the Church's unity is maintained is through Its makeup as the Body of Christ: as Our Blessed Lord is the Head of His Body the Church (Acts 9:1-5, 1 Cor 12:12-14, Col 1:15-2:3). Our Blessed Lord, in setting up His Church and seeing to its unity put St. Peter and His successors as His Vicars to rule over His Church (Matthew 16:17-19 based on Isaiah 22:15-25) making St. Peter His Vicar as the chief steward was the head of Israel under the King. The Church's unity is thus insured with everyone being in Communion with the Holy Father, and thus with Christ; and sharing in the same sacrifice of the Most Holy Eucharist, believing the same things (unity of doctrine and belief) - all of which is insured through union with the Pope.
