The Pope has authority because the Church has convinced everyone that he it. It's self-fulfilling.

The Papacy was little more than a joke until the 800s.

He doesnt, he rules over Vatican City.
>The Lateran Treaty (Italian: Patti Lateranensi; Latin: Pacta Lateranensia) was one of the Lateran Pacts of 1929 or Lateran Accords, agreements made in 1929 between the Kingdom of Italy and the Holy See, settling the "Roman Question". They are named after the Lateran Palace, where they were signed on February 11, 1929. The Italian parliament ratified them on June 7, 1929. Italy was then under a Fascist government, but the succeeding democratic governments have all upheld the treaty. It recognized the Vatican as an independent state, with Prime Minister Benito Mussolini agreeing to give the church financial refund.[1] In 1947, the Lateran Pacts were incorporated into the democratic Constitution of Italy.[2]
