You know, I remember back in the early, early eighties when two popes passed away within a month or so. My impression has always been of "elderly, not-in-the-best-of-health type Popes. But thanks for the clarification guys (Maleficent & Drewpy). I'm trying to Imagine the Pope skiing in his robes *chuckle*. I like the pic of him at the laptop. I imagine him playing World of Warcraft LOL! I think someone has an avatar of the Pope making a silly face. It's good to see the human side of him.

So Let me see if I get it - the Papacy works like this:

Pope - His (or her?) Holiness - Successor to St. Peter
College of Cardinals - His Eminence (appointed by Pope); elects the Pope
Archbishop - in charge of archdiocese or province
Bishops - in charge of diocese
Priests

Oh, I just found this cool description on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Church

It gives a brief history, and religious & political structure.
