What about the Pope's Confessor?

[maria_rose]

Hi There everyone,
I’ve got questions regarding Popes and confessors.

1. Who chooses the pope’s confessor?
2. What qualifications must he have?
   3.Does it have to be another bishop/cardinal?
   4.What happens if a pope confesses a sin that disqualifies him from being pope;what is the confessor’s obligation?

Thank you kindly for answering.
God bless you all!
