Topic: Coadjutor


In the News (Thu 16 Feb 12)

  
  Encyclopedia: Coadjutor bishop
In the Roman Catholic Church, a coadjutor bishop or a coadjutor archbishop is a bishop or archbishop that has been appointed by the Pope to assist a diocesan bishop or archbishop with his diocese.
Unlike auxiliary bishops, coadjutors are given the automatic right of succession to the episcopal see, meaning that when the ordinary they are assisting dies, retires, resigns, or is reassigned, the coadjutor automatically becomes the next leader of the diocese.
In the Anglican Communion, a bishop coadjutor (the form usually used) is a bishop elected or appointed to follow the current diocesan bishop upon the incumbent's death or retirement.

Coadjutors are given to diocesans impeded from performance of their episcopal duties by old age, or bodily infirmity, or sickness, protracted and incurable, such as loss of speech, blindness, paralysis, and insanity.
Coadjutors are also temporary and perpetual; the first has no succession, the latter has, and is called coadjutor with right of succession.
Coadjutors with right of succession rarely are granted, and only when urgent necessity and an evident utility are superadded to the above reasons; and then they must be made known to, and approved as such, by the pope.
