As the vicar of Christ, what exactly does a Pope do? I mean we do not pray to him or in his name, so what is his duties?

Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemed. Mark 16:16
A title of the pope implying his supreme and universal primacy, both of honour and of jurisdiction, over the Church of Christ. It is founded on the words of the Divine Shepherd to St. Peter: "Feed my lambs. . . . Feed my sheep" (John 21:16-17), by which He constituted the Prince of the Apostles guardian of His entire flock in His own place, thus making him His Vicar and fulfilling the promise made in Matthew 16:18-19.
The word "vicar" itself means "representative".
