Why Bishops Matter in the Catholic Church

- Everyone knows how to spot a bishop in a crowd: he's the one with the funny hat and big staff. But what exactly is a bishop, what does he do, and how has our understanding of the role changed over the years?

Especially for little boys
That will be the summary of the whole video.

@@brandonrichardson1398 Why do you have such a disdain for Fr. Cole?
My daughter is 40 yrs old now. When she was 3, we went to my uncle’s Catholic funeral. Not sure why, but a bishop was officiating. He had on the mitre cap and green embroidered stole. It was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. My little girl piped up in a really loud voice, “Mom, is that God up there?” The whole church cracked up. The bishop tried so hard to get composed so he could carry on with the funeral, but he couldn’t stop laughing.
I'm not Catholic, just a curious and open-minded person, and I love your videos. I learn something new and interesting from each one. It's so much better to hear about people's beliefs from the source rather than straw men presented by people with an opposing agenda. Thank you!
Me too. I want to learn and understand and these videos and Br. Casey are truly informative and make religion and catholicism easy to understand.
That is very smart. When young, I would be told this and that, trusting someone, then live and found one lie, then looked for others and found its best to go straight to the horses mouth
It is good you learn about Catholicism from Catholics and not the lies the your anticatholic Pastors who know nothing about the Catholics and they keep spewing hate and lies to you people. Glad you're here to learn
@@kelechukwuanosike767 Yes, learn from the Catholics who are obviously gonna be biased. Both sides will have conflict, go to the theology
We are more than welcome to come to a Catholic church.Hope one day you will.God bless you and PROTECT you.
Makes me excited to be confirmed! Thank you for this video Fr Casey, you are in my prayers.

I'm a staunch atheist, but i've been watching some of your videos lately, and I respect your genuine and consistent views.
Welcome to Catholicism! While the average Catholic may not know their faith the teachings are very consistent. Would love to know more about what brings an atheist to watch a millennial priest on youtube!
@@trevorhanlin4247 Honestly, I got no idea. I was super drunk laying on my couch, and I think I saw one of his historical videos pop up in my recommendations, and I thought a friar with a youtube channel was novel, so I clicked on it. I'm by no means a stranger to catholocism, but since he's someone deeply invovled with the Chruch, I find his perspective really interesting.
@@Netist_ Cool deal. Fr has a bunch of videos with similar perspective, I would also recommend Matt Fradd's Channel "Pints with Aquinas" He has a variety of topics and guests.
If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer any of them.
Same here, atheist with zero desire to convert to anything but I still like to listen to this channel - there are more similarities than differences in my view. Anything that helps calm the mind in these times is a good thing, whether we share the same beliefs or not. I might disagree in many ways but learning about the world never makes it worse.
@@peggysue1725 it is always good to learn about the oldest human institution in continuous operation. God, the fact that the Catholic Church has not fallen for so many centuries is already a miracle.
Father, I have to say that you helped me understand the fullness of the Catholic faith. It was you that helped my find the Lord. Because of what you do my 14 year old self started to listen to God and find joy in Him. God bless you and your ministry.

This topic is also key in fostering reconciliation with our separated siblings in the other apostolic churches.
100% agree.
As an Eastern Orthodox, I heartily pray for this every day. We are sooo very close to each other still after all these centuries; like siblings who had a falling out and don't like to talk to each other. We are still family, and we really need our parents to knock us upside the head and lock us in a room until we figure out how to act like a family again 😃
@@reamus9102 100% as well. Just a question, what would it take to bring you and/or your church into full communion with the latin Church and her Eastern sisters?
@@trevorhanlin4247 Of course, the ultimate question, right? Honestly, I think the biggest issue is the authority and doctrinal infallibility of the Pope. I think Papal primacy itself shouldn't be an issue, and in fact the bishop of Rome was respected and seen as the 'first among equals' before the schism. I feel like this is even going in the right direction with the current and past couple Popes, as they have met the Eastern Patriarchs and called each other brothers. But, to the Eastern Orthodox doctrinal matters need to be decided by ecumenical council, rather than Papal edicts or encyclicals.
Some people will bring up the matter of the filioque, but I honestly think that is mostly a non-issue except for the most hardcore doctrinal nerds; seems like an issue with semantics to me, rather than any real substantive difference in our understanding of the Trinity.
I imagine any sort of reunion with the Western church would still maintain their "Latin Rites' while the East still retains their "Eastern Rites." So little differences can (and should) continue; as long as we get the important things right then I see no reason why we can't maintain our diversity. So for the eucharist, I don't see a problem with having unleavened bread in a Latin Rite diocese, and risen bread in a Eastern Rite diocese. Some on both sides will probably say it's a huge deal, but really, I think God cares more about us coming together in Communion than he does about the yeast content of our eucharist bread, haha.
And of course, Catholicism would have to accept Eastern iconography. And now that I type that out I realize I have basically no idea what Catholicism thinks of Eastern iconography...🤔haha. In the same vein, Eastern Orthodox would have to lighten up and not frown at the statues and holy artistic art forms of the West. Hopefully we can just accept each others religious art as made for the glorification of God and veneration of the saints, and avoid silly accusations of things like idolatry, which clearly has no actual bearing on either churche's usage of their art.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Let me know if you (or anyone else) can think of anything else; I'm interested in hearing other perspectives on this.
@@reamus9102 Glory to Jesus Christ!
I agree with much of what you stated. I think one of the big differences is that I feel most of this has already happened. For instance, Eastern Theology is fully accepted in the Catholic Church. Not only is it woven throughout the Catechism but is living in the Eastern Churches.
As a good example of this, and to point on the filioque is what The Catholic Church has to say about that whole bit in it's official teaching in the CCC. Paragraphs 246-248. Basically, it holds that the theology behind both is valid. In the Eastern Churches it is omitted in every rite and language I have been to, and in the Latin church it is omitted when celebrating with the eastern churches (Orthodox or Catholic) and I believe it is always omitted in Greek.
To point about papal infallibility. I think the average Orthodox (and frankly the average Catholic) hold a protestant conception of what is meant and taught about papal infallibility. We as Orthodox and Catholic Brothers in Christ hold that it is possible for a man to speak infallibly, even our protestant brothers profess that men wrote the word of God down to make the bible! And indeed we both agree that the bishops in unison with the pope spoke infallibly during the first 3-8 ecumenical councils (usually 7, but there is some nuance there between eastern churches) The teaching is an extension of this same genesis, also, the parameters for a pope to speak ex cathedra are so restrictive it may be easier to call a council with all our eastern brothers! (seriously, twice in history, possibly three if you count Peter doing it)
I have had interesting discussions on what constitutes an ecumenical council. There are even Orthodox churches that disagree on how many there have been (look up the 4th council of Constantinople, I believe the Russian Orthodox and Catholics both hold it as such but it is actually two different councils!) My thing is that the definition the Catholic Church uses works for all the jointly recognized councils and those it only recognizes after. Where many arguments on the Orthodox side would logically disclude one or more of the first 7. Would appreciate your thoughts.
I think the biggest barrier to us celebrating the Divine Liturgy together (well the whole churches, you are welcome at any time to celebrate the DL with me and my family) is really that of politics and trust. Politics because there is a lot of history and power, on both sides, and those worldly things are hard to completely set aside. On the Trust side there is the factor that there have been some major issues in the Catholic Church when it comes to the Eastern Parishes. It only takes one jerk bishop in the midwest who is on a power hungry tirade to rid the world of married priests and before you know it a suis juris church is broken in have an ripped from the mother church to form the OCA. (seriously, I apologize on behalf of all Catholics for the "work" of John Ireland)
Lastly, I think that it would be a good thing for Eastern Orthodox to seek out their Eastern Catholic Brothers, especially those that know their faith well. (Actually, all Catholics should get to know their "other lung" as Pope St. JPII put it)
God Bless you my Brother and I look forward to your response!

"if you've been to a confirmation, you've been to a mass with a bishop"
me who got confirmed in quarantine :‑|
lol it's fine I've been to other masses with bishops
😂😂😂 oh that made me laugh
It happened the same to me haha
😂😂🤣🤣🤣
yeah, any priest CAN legally perform a confirmation in emergencies, and they have standing licit approval do so without special circumstances as part of adult baptism on the Easter Vigil, but having a Bishop perform confirmations is generally preferred when possible.
I'll be confirmed by the Abbott in our parish (diocesan) because within a religious community an abbott is the same as a bishop
May God continue to bless you and your on-line ministry, Father Casey.✝
Both of your books arrived today! So excited to dive in Father!

I always thought that a bishop was consecrated rather than being ordained. Further I was always told that his highest priority as a bishop was that of teaching; thus he has the chair, the symbol of a teacher, in the cathedral.
This is what a bishop should be
Timothy 3:1-5 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
A friend of mine was smoking in his car on a cold morning, leaving the window open a crack. A woman saw a fogged--up car with white smoke coming out. She tapped on the window, concerned: "what are you doing?" He replied, "I'm electing the pope."
Whenever I pray for the intentions of the Holy Father, I also make it a point to pray for the intentions of my Diocesan Bishop
Same
We need to pray for them
Well done faithful servant! To God be the Glory! 😇
Speaking of a church that allows for local variations and interpretations of Christian tradition, would you consider doing a video on the current-day relation between the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church? I heard some things about Pope Francis moving towards rekindling relations, but I don't know what that means aside from some proposed compromises regarding calendar dates of festivities.
That would be so great! It's a deep wound that runs through the Church. As hurtful and damaging as a divorce in marriage.
And of course, "Filioque."
@@urmorph the real F-word

I think I like my church a little on centralized side. This synodality stuff has gone too far and the Germans are on the brink of schism, and recent synods in Rome are pretty disturbing.
Schismatic, protestant types though, in a similar fashion, are causing disunity in Sacred Scripture and Tradition and so want women to be able to do that which St. Paul said were positions only allowed for men and to do that which is only allowed for men per 1 Cor. 14:34-35 ,and 1 Tim. 2:12. But why are we surprised? If certain people in the past half a century or so have cast aside divine truth being im Sacred Tradition is it any wonder that Sacred Scripture is now also being ignored?
I think that In this video Father does go a bit too far on the decentralized side. If you look at church history it ebbs and flows, what we really need to realize is that a balance of the two is necessary. Centralized and unified in doctrine and leadership (we are not orthodox after all), yet multicultural and local.
@@DewiiEsq agreed
@@AmericanGuy7654 The synod of bishops in Rome, which advises the Holy Father, and doesn't get to make any decisions itself? It sounds like you're complaining about a made-up problem.

Excellent analysis father! The role of the bishop in church is a key not only for the modern understanding of the church but also one of the most important issues on the dialoge between orthodox and catholic churches! Hope God will bless both east and west to find a common understanding of bishop's role in the church!

Fr. Casey, these are amazingly well done and down to earth. How come there isn't an Imprimatur or Nihil Obstat for the videos?
I don’t think they exist for this medium.
You did a real good job on this. Some do not understand concepts that's applicable to different scenarios, instead preferring something cut and dry. Very efficient for some to look at faults of others. But when you realize your own faults, which many do not, it makes it hard to judge others, where you find you are required to pray for others.😉

@@frcaseycole4135 You are a fake Casey, not a real one
Thank you for this. I learned a lot from it.
I sometimes visit a conservative Catholic website where many posters have a very different and sometimes disparaging view of their bishops and the “synodal way.” As a fellow conservative, though not Catholic, I was inclined to sympathize with them. Now I have a broader view, thank you. I’m still a bit surprised by some bishops in Germany and South America, but at least I now understand a bit more about the Catholic church structure.
I remember when my Sister had her confermation, there was this kid running up and down the church. At one point, the bishop (dressed in red) put on his mitre, and the kid stopped dead in his track and turned the other way, because he thought it was Sinterklaas (Santa Claus)
Well Sinter Klaas is a bishop in the Dutch legend. But let's not talk about Zwarte Piet...
Fun fact : the real Santa Claus was the bishop of Mira St Nicholas
Great video; in the end it all falls apart without the papacy. One reason the papacy developed into what it is today is because it was needed. Peter alone is given the keys to bind and loose. Bishops in the East after Nicea were heavily involved with Arianism in their theology. They got together in Synods; people need clarification on issues. Look at the current schisms in Orthodoxy today. The papacy alone maintains and upholds the church.

Objection: the primacy of the papacy was still there, it just was a lot harder to travel to the Pope so many never had the chance to. Saint Paul spent a few weeks with Peter to make sure that his doctoring and teaching was in line.
And the bishops are still the pope of their diocese.
Rome was first only in honour but it was equal to other patriarchates
The papacy develops through time, but it wasn’t the early church model.

Hai father, greetings from , kerala, India.I am a first year theology student.
The idea of Bishops was part of the Council of Nice in 325 AD, Canon IV, VI, and VII. In his book, written in 2005, Cardinal Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI, discusses with the Orthodox Metropolitan of Bishop of Switzerland, Damiskinos, about the error he called, "Roman Centrism," that he stated many Roman Catholic Theologians have. This was mentioned by Priest Casey in this video clip. I noticed what I thought was a picture of Erasmus as part of the Reformation movement. Erasmus was a Catholic Theologian who understood about the problem of Roman Centrism, (probably wrote the story about Pope Julius), and also was the writer of the Greek New Testament, A Roman Catholic mind you, the author of the "Textus Receptus," used in the translation of Tyndale's, Luther's, and the King James Version Translations. As a Protestant, and even a Roman Catholic should think about this, is what respect should we give a Bishop of another part of Christianity. Should we not give respect to an actual Christian, God Fearing Bishop, say of the Orthodox Church if we are Roman Catholic? I think we should. A Christian should consider the two verses given in Francis Shaeffer's book, "The Mark of the Christian," John 13:34,35, and 17:21, and think of the implications that Francis Schaeffer points out in his book regarding these two passages.

Hello Father, in Nota in Lumem Gentium it is said that bishops don't receive the power of governing by virtue of ordination but by virtue of canonical appointment. Pius XII said the same in Ad Apostolorum Principis.

Father, if you haven't already, would you consider doing a quick video about how we should answer those who comment that the Blessed Sacrament, if transubstantiation is true, is cannibalism? Thank you so much and God bless you.
Fr Cassey I really don't like bishop's freedom to rule the diocese independently as it is causing much problem in india due to many diocese support casteism in India
Bishops are encouraging casteism as high caste people like that
Priest belong to a particular high caste will conduct mass for people of the same caste
This is totally disgusting and it's totally evil
Low caste people and religious know this and they are not happy about this
Many leave Catholic faith and switch to budhism and Islam
This is the major reason why Catholicism failed in India
This have to be taken to the notice of pope if possible thank you
Doesn't mean there is less noise you don't have trouble
That's terrible. I can't even conceive how someone can be so blind as your bishops.
I hope they have an active Bishops conference in India? Cardinal Oswald Gracias is the Archbishop of Mumbai, India and a close adviser to Pope Francis, does he know about this? No doubt, Pope Francis leadership style is causing divisions among the Bishops
How about the other sui iuris Catholic churches in India, like the Syro-Malankara and Syro-Malabar churches, if I recall correctly? Do they also have this problem? I would like to know!
@@ipso-kk3ft casteism exist everywhere because government give concessions to low backward people so everybody follow it
And now we have some bishops who argue from worldliness or legalism. Bishops, and all the faithful, need a return to early catechesis--not "early" as in medieval churchmanship and clericalism, but "early" as in Sunday School (Matthew 18:1-6).
Yeah yeah... I get the Bishop thing. but how do I get ordained as Rook?
I’m confused so was the church wrong for like 1600 years? Does the Bishop of Rome still have the final say in this model? Shouldn’t we just become Eastern Orthodox if what your saying is true?
Its a return to the roots of Christianity. That of the Old Church. Its apart of why the Orthodox is called 'Orthodox'.
This is the first step to reunified Christiondom. From Protestants, To Catholics, to Orthodox. One day, the fractured Church will be brought back together...
Pretty much the Pope is saying, "You Bishops have the same keys I have received in Apostolic Succession of Peter, you have the Holy Spirit, now you are to make laws governing your diocese as long as they are in communion with Rome."
Hello father, I was born and baptised in Portugal in St. Peter's Church, I'm currently faithless, but I live learning about religions, Christianity in special, and I was wondering if you could explain all the different beliefs within Christianity (Mormons, orthodox, protestants, Catholics...), love your videos!
It is not the job of a Catholic priest to tell you about Mormonism and different religions. That is crazy question He is a Catholic priest and not a mormon priest. I advise you to return to your Catholic faith else you go to hell
Orthodox and Catholics have similar beliefs (trinity, perpetual virginity of Mary, intercession of the Saints, transubstantition and the teachings of the Fathers of the church ecc.) but they differ since the Catholics think that the Holy Ghost proceeds from both the Father and the Son, whilee the Orthodox don't; and the catholics believe in the superiority of the Bishop of Rome (the Pope) and the Pope infallibility. Protestants is an umbrella term for many different churches which have different liturgiesand liturgies. The Mormons aren't really christians since the both believe in the Bible and in the Book of Mormon which was written in 1830 by Joseph Smithbut which is said to be the last revelation of God. Hope it helps
Thanks Father!

Something that I never understood is why the Holy Synod made the liturgy so that the priest could say the mass going from the altar to a chair, that used to be a particularity of the Pontifical Mass and gave a powerful message that the bishop is not just a super priest or a government priest but that he had the special gift from the Holy Spirit to serve God from his throne just like the 24 elder of the apocalypse worship him seated.
I was confirmed by my Pastor, Monsignor John Yonk in 1988. Of course Monignor Yonk was called the Bishop of Ironton.... Yes customarily the Bishop does celebrate certain Masss, including Confirmation these days.
Father, what's the line that borders the pope and a bishop? I mean, you said that the Catholic Church is now or bringing back what bishop really is, as a central power of the diocese and it can govern freely in communion with one another. Which means, there could be a possibility of bishop opposing other bishop or Bishop opposing the pope as bishop and pope is somewhat equal, as I understood in your explanation.
Does it mean no hierarchy from top? Which could lead to possible collapse of church?
@John i agree on that sir. But what Fr. Casey said confuses me. The Pope actually, in my own understanding serves as the one on TOP and yes I know that he allows bishops to exercise their power to their diocese freely but, what's the distinction?
As Fr. Casey's video tells that it's must be collegiality? Hope to explain the line that borders the role, power, authority of bishop to pope because as I see it, the possibility of bishop opposing bishop, cardinal opposing cardinal and even worst, bishop opposing pope IS AS THIN AS A SINGLE STRAND OF HAIR.
I DIDN'T say that, it must be centralised power but up to what extent are these powers and authorities of bishops to pope and let's not forget the papal supremacy here.
Thanks you.
@@pamcatap2214 Theoretically speaking, the line between a Bishop and the Pope is close to nothing. The importance of the Pope comes from two things. One is the tradition (and debatable historical record) that the seat of Rome is Apostolic, being founded by Saint Peter. This is shared by the four other ancient Patriarchal seats of Antioch, Jerusalem, Alexandria and Constantinople. These were the most important Bishops of the early Catholic and Orthodox Church.
Two, in 325 (the Council of Nicaea), Rome, Alexandria and Antioch were recognized as the most important bishops and, of them, Rome was named as "primus inter pares" (first amongst equals), because it was founded by the leader of the Apostles Saint Peter (and also saw his martyr and that of Saint Paul). Some documents in the 1st and 2nd Centuries seem to indicate this was already an informal position Rome held. In 381, Constantinople was raised to a Patriarchal seat (founded by Saint Andrew). In 451, Jerusalem joined them (ironically the last, despite being founded by James 'the brother of Christ' and being considered the Mother Church by Orthodoxy).
To resume, Rome was first amongst equals because of Saint Peter being known as its founder. Nicaea formalized it because it had gained traction (and Constantine wanted someone he could address directly in case of "issues" with the Christian population).
Matters complicated after the fall of the Western Empire, but that's a tale for another time.
@@VindicAlpha thank you sir. But still the question is unanswered.
@@pamcatap2214 I mean, the very phrase "First amongst equals" answers the question. The Pope can decide divergences in the faith because he's elected from a body of highly respected and influential bishops/cardinals and his voice, as Pope and Patriarch of the West, holds a lot of traditional weight under a more collegial organization. With the weight of the tradition of the Pope as supreme bishop of the Church, it means that 99% of Catholic bishops still look to Rome first, but they can decide how to express the faith in their diocese (in accordance with the broad dogma and doctrine of the Church).
Can a bishop oppose the Pope? Yes, but he better be able to back up his ideas before a synod or council and his fellow bishops are going to give their all to pick his arguments apart. It takes a great plurality of bishops agreeing on opposing the Pope to override him and that is hard to do. One bishop opposing the Pope happens all the time, most of them opposing the Pope is rarer.
And can bishops disagree with Councils? Yes! While the Council of Nicaea declared Arianism a heresy (and Saint Nicolas famously punched Arius in the face during a debate), it persisted and caused Trinitarism (the accepted orthodoxy of the Councils) a lot of trouble over the following centuries. Ideally speaking, however, an Ecumenical Council of the Church is the accepted orthodoxy to follow by all bishops of the same Church.
Hence the importance of the first Seven Ecumenical Councils of the Church, who literally define what it means to be Christian for Catholics and Orthodox. (This is a broad generalization. Some Orthodox Churches of the East don't acknowledge all of them but are still Trinitarians. Some not so old restorationists branches in the USA acknowledge none of them because they're not Trinitarians.)
Does the Pope allow other bishops to exercise their function? To my knowledge, Yes and no. To be precise, he allows bishops to be in communion with the Catholic Church of Rome. He can excommunicate a bishop and his flock from communion with the Catholic Church of Rome, but he can't say "you're no longer Christians". He can say "You are no longer Roman Catholics".
I, of course, will bow to the good Father Casey if he interjects, but as I've studied early Christianity, I felt I could contribute my understanding of the questions and the mechanics of the early Church.
@@VindicAlpha thank you. I am more convinced of your answers. It shed light. I am just having this fear that the entire church collapse because bishop could and might oppose the Pope and the ONENESS OF THE CHURCH be jeopardised.
I would disagree with your characterization of bishops in the high church Protestant denominations. If anything, without a Pope, the bishops of the Lutheran, Methodist, or Episcopal (it's even in the name!) denominations have more power over doctrine and high policy than do Catholic Bishops. True, they are elected, rather than appointed, but it is their pronouncements, operating in a collegial body which determine the doctrines and policies of their churches.
To be honest this is all paradox. In certain times the model of bishop as supreme teacher in theology might seem to be the one. But in other times it just leads to a quite mess. In some ages, even in earlier time of church it was the bishop that led people astray from the true orthodoxy. Making a moderate model is quite not simple.
hope you're having a nice day! as someone who was born into a Muslim family and not knowing any of this information, I truly thank you for putting this types of educational content. to be honest, I don't understand a lot of the terms on your other videos and I'm just starting to learn. are you going to put more videos like this for people who are just getting to know God for the first time? 🌸

Excellent video!
You are correct that protestants, in churches that have Bishops, have a different role for Bishops - but not completely different. Our Bishops are elected by a General Conference composed of an equal body elected by clergy and laity separately. They serve for a time and then step down to serve as Elders again (although they are usually known as "Bishop Emeritus" for the rest of their lives. However, Bishops do have the sole authority to ordain clergy - so there are some similarities.

Can you explain the differences between a Bishop, an Archbishop and a Cardinal? Thank you.
Cardinal is a prince of the Church who helps the Pope in the governance of the universal church. A Cardinal is elected as Pope. A cardinal can be a bishop, where he has a more job function of governance of his diocese than the universal church. Bishops only govern their dioceses. Archbishop is the head of an archdiocese, which is usually a bigger area than the diocese, which a bishop heads
You can only move in diagonals, as far as you want but are blocked by other pieces. This, is a bishop.
So we don't have one universal bishop that pope Leo described?
Fr. Casey, are you a Cappichin or Conventual Franciscan? The former moderator of a Catholic Fraternity I am in was Conventual but I seem to recall his habit being grey instead of brown like yours so I am guessing you are Cappichin??
I'm neither. I'm in the Order simply known as the Franciscans. (OFM) ua-cam.com/video/zMarXNnADcA/v-deo.html
Should we end the practice of creating titular bishops especially for curial offices that don't have any pastoral role? If there are too many confirmations why don't the bishops grant faculties to their presbyters for confirmation (as at the Easter Vigil) instead of creating bishops with no dioceses or dioceses with multiple bishops? Alternately why not make every deanery its own diocese so we can get closer to the ecclesiology of the early Church and the 2nd Vatican Council?
Some priests do confirmation. Many Bishops give faculties to some priests to celebrate confirmation. It is difficult for the Bishops to meet every one
I have no idea the important role a Bishop played. What is the role of a Cardinal?
love this ,may i suggest a video subject(s) , the bible marys and the 7 jehovahs

As you will recall, The challenges presented by the 2020 was unprecedented and unexpected in the annals of recent history.The entire world was so down for about three monthsBy the coronavirus pandemic that was not a respecter of persons,class,status,religion,nations and kingdoms. The Pandemic was a levelers of humanity,systems and governments and it brought to bear everyone that the only thing that important denominators in the existence and essence of man and humanity is the omnipotence and sovereignty of the Almighty God. “God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this, that power belongeth unto God”(psalm 61:11).I saw a vision that you should support a child that is sick of leukemia in a motherless Foundation in Nigeria called Saviour Motherless Foundation,support the child finically and “God will open all your closed doors and bless you abundantly” (Saviourfoundation22@gmail.com ) God bless you..
I’m probably a bit late but, if the celebrant in mass is a bishop and not a priest, do extra hymns get sung? This happens in Armenian Orthodoxy and I was wondering if this is true among the Catholics too. Love to my brothers and sisters in Christ!❤️❤️❤️
Not really. It is the same Mass with the same songs and prayers, but some prayers, blessings and costums are a little different. However, the ambience is of course mostly more solemn.
In the old Latin rite however, the bisshop was during a solemn Mass greeted with an extra song (Ecce sacerdos magnus) when he processed from the sacristy to the altar and he was then vested for Mass in the church itself and not in the sacristy, while prayers or songs were sang.
Please pray for me brothers and sisters. Thank you

GOD BLESS the bishhops.
What about Archbishops?
They're basically bishops who rank slightly above other bishops by virtue of leading an important diocese. The archbishop will administrate a neighboring diocese if there's no bishop, and tribunals can be appealed from a diocese to its archdiocese, but other than that they stick to their own diocese because the neighboring bishops have that apostolic authority to run their own diocese.
Wait, so how does an Anglican, Lutheran or Presbyterian (b)ishop differ?
Their orders are invalid, I know.
I love the way you defined a bishop! 😃 I pray the church will be more collegial someday.

The account above is fake. Do not trust a word it says.
Tital collegiality leads to division, disputes, and finally schisms. The Church needs one leader. Of course the role of bishops in their diocese is VERY important. Very. But being humans as we are, a global Church spread on all the continents needs 1 central figure of authority.
