  Abbot
In the first instance, when a vacancy occurred, the bishop of the diocese chose the abbot out of the monks of the convent, but the right of election was transferred by jurisdiction to the monks themselves, reserving to the bishop the confirmation of the election and the benediction of the new abbot.
This permission opening the door to luxurious living, the Council of Aix, A.D. 817, decreed that the abbot should dine in the refectory, and be content with the ordinary fare of the monks, unless he had to entertain a guest.
In conventual cathedrals, where the bishop occupied the place of the abbot, the functions usually developing on the superior of the monastery were performed by a prior.

 Chess opening - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is therefore normal for both players to either castle in the opening (simultaneously developing one of the rooks) or to otherwise bring the king to the side of the board via artificial castling.
Opening theory began being studied more scientifically from the 1840s on, and many opening variations were discovered and named in this period and later.
The name given to an opening is not always that of the first player to adopt it; often an opening is named for the player who was the first to popularize it or to publish analysis of it.

 Year of the Eucharist | Resources
Bishop John Kinney of St. Cloud, Minn. - who participated in drawing up the resolution along with Levada, Brom and Cardinal Francis George of Chicago - said, "I think it's extremely important that there be some oversight of us" as the bishops work out the implications of the charter in their own dioceses.
Bishop William Weigand of Sacramento, Calif., asked that the study look at a broader picture than the bishops' responsibility to implement the charter's provisions for responding to and preventing sexual abuse.
Among the most widely covered critics of the bishops before and after their Dallas meeting were leaders of SNAP, the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests, which for the past decade has been the leading organization pressing for reforms in how the church treats sexual abuse victims and perpetrators.

 Chessville - Instruction - Beginner - Basic Opening Strategy - General Principles - 3 & 4
Furthermore, the Knights and Bishops can move around the board with relative ease during the opening phase of the game even though the board is crowded with pieces and pawns, because the Knights can jump over other pieces and the Bishops can slide between other pieces along the diagonals.
Open files and ranks are not typically available until several pawns and pieces are exchanged, and this doesn't usually happen until later in the game.
In most openings, White's Knights are best developed to c3 and f3 and Black's Knights to c6 and f6 because those are the squares on which they have the most central influence.

For according to the Pontifical, the episcopate is the " summum sacerdotium "; the bishop in consecration receives " the sacerdotal grace "; it is " his office to consecrate, ordain, offer, baptize, confirm." Thus in the Pontifical the words " Receive the Holy Ghost " are determined and defined by the context.

Philidor thought that 2 Bc4 was superior to 2 Nf3 because it left open the path of the f-pawn to advance to f4, after suitable preparation.
However, the Bishop's Opening is of much greater antiquity than the Vienna which strictly speaking is a name that should only be given to the lines with 2 Nc3 and 3f4, or other lines following 2 Nc3 that cannot arise from the Bishop's Opening.
Finally to answer the question in the title, it can be seen that the Bishop's Opening is not one opening but a complex of allied variations which gives White a variety of possible treatments of the position arising from 1 e4 e5 2 Bc4.

The battling bishops -- John-David Schofield of Fresno and San Francisco's William Swing -- have each accused the other of separating from the church, but neither appears to be going anywhere.

Schofield is one of the few Episcopal bishops left in the United States who still openly oppose the ordination of women, which he called "another novelty of the liberal church.'' But the most vociferous opposition to gay priests and bishops comes from Africa.

 US Chess Federation:
Since knights, bishops, rooks, and queens can move farther than pawns and threaten more distant targets, it's a good idea to bring them out soon, after you've moved enough pawns to guarantee that your stronger pieces won't be chased back by your opponent's pawns.
Toward the end of the game, though, when there are fewer men in the way, the bishop can exert its influence in all parts of the board at once, while the knight still takes a long time to get anywhere.
The bishop is trapped behind its own pawns, while the knight is free to hop in and out of fl's position.

 Political Philosophy of John Locke [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Locke’s parents were low gentry Puritans (tanners and clothiers), and his father, an attorney to the local Justices of the Peace, went to war on the Parliamentarian side in the cavalry.
There were various uprisings in Scotland in 1666, 1679, and 1685, which had led to thousands of martyrs burning at the stake and being hanged for their opposition.
Locke’s comments are worth noting for evidence of a further swing away from political conservativism adhering to establishment structures to a radicalism that seeks their containment in favour of inalienable individual rights.
