i dont remember but i think the bible tells us not to serve two masters (i might be mistaken) but if im not i have a question is the pope our master here on earth
 
No, the Pope is not our master in the context of that bible quote. The quote is not talking about some sort of actual person.

Matthew 6:24 and Luke 16:13

“No one can serve two masters.m He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

Mammon: an Aramaic word meaning wealth or property.

Jesus is talking about the sin of avarice along with other sins associated with money.

I suggest you read the full chapter in Luke’s gospel for context:

usccb.org/bible/luke/16
 
I guess the greatest in the kingdom shal be d servant so i can say d pope is our servant showing us the master and encouraging us to serve the master. I remember one of the titles of the pope is ‘servant of the servants of God.’
ubenedictus
 
A reading of John 13: 1-17 demonstrates that the Pope is the servant of the Church not it’s master. 👍
