ELI5: what does the Pope actually do?

Edit: I was not specific enough in my title, I guess I am wondering about what he does on a day to day basis.

The Pope is the absolute monarch of Vatican City. Within city, his word is law, and he can override everyone else within the Vatican City. Outside the city, he is the final word for the Catholic Church's official doctrine. He can speak *Ex cathedra,* (from the chair), which means he IS speaking for God, and everything he says while doing so IS God's word.

Unofficially, the Pope is the face of the Church and (for lack of a better term) markets it to the world at large.
