Roman Catholic archbishops are allowed ten tassles a side on their coat of arms, while a bishop only receives six.
These metropolitan archbishops, in addition to the usual ceremonial privileges of archbishops, hold the responsibilities of a metropolitan bishop over the suffragan bishops of the province and are thus the only archbishops who wear the pallium by right.
In the past the Pope would normally bestow a titular see on every retired bishop and every bishop who transferred to the Curia, so this recent canonical innovation was instituted to conserve titular sees for active auxiliary bishops and members of the Roman Curia who have not had a diocesan appointment yet.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Bishop
By Ignatius the bishop is regarded as the centre of unity; to Irenaeus he is the depositary of primitive truth; to Cyprian, he is the absolute vicegerent of Christ in things spiritual (Lightfoot, The Christian Ministry, 181-269, in his commentary on St. Paul's Epistle to the Philippians, London, 1896).

For example, the Archbishop of Salzburg had the privilege to select Bishops for the filial dioceses of Chiemsee, Gurk, Seckau and Lavant themselves and without involvement of the Pope.
They were entitled to anathemise their enemies themselves and - bearing the honorary title of "Legatus natus" - the Archbishops of Salzburg wear the Cardinal's purple if in Rome.
Since they are undividable connected with the history of Salzburg, a list of them with the years of their reign can serve as a neat guideline to follow Salzburg through the centuries.

Indeed, some Islâmic attitudes are familiar from later religious ideological conflict, since disgust and condemnation of a priesthood and celibacy, not to mention the use of images, could later draw sympathy from Protestantism.
Since Leo III is considered to have come from either Syria or the nearby Isauria, his concern about this issue is supposed to have resulted from his sensitivity to the effect of Islâmic charges on the previously Christian populations of the areas, like Syria, conquered by Islâm.

 Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake
While there are distinctions between the first appointment of a priest as a bishop and a bishop's later transfer to another diocese or his promotion to archbishop, the basic outlines of the process remain the same.
Among the congregation's responsibilities are moderating all aspects of episcopal appointments; assisting bishops in the correct exercise of their pastoral functions; handling ad limina visits (regular visits to Rome by bishops every five years); and establishing episcopal conferences and reviewing their decrees as required by canon law.
Prior to the regular province meeting (usually annually), the archbishop distributes to all the bishops of the province the names and curricula vitae of priests which have been submitted to him.

 EBK: Bishops of Ergyng, Teilo & Llandaff
However, the next ten bishops in the list are displaced chronologically and, from their associations in the Llandaff Charters, appear to represent a list of Bishops of Ergyng and/or Gwent, perhaps with a centre at Welsh Bicknor, Kenderchurch or Glasbury.
The bishop's cathedral and his associations with St. Teilo were transferred to Llandaff some time before the early 11th century, possibly after the death of Bishop Nobis in AD 874.
The bishop installed in about AD 929 certainly seems to have had a Saxon name and, in AD 982, Bishop Gwgan was consecrated by St. Dunstan, at the very end of his career.

Bishops are in charge of a "Diocese" which is (usually) a geographical area made of local communities (parishes) of the faithful.
The Bishop is the superior of all the priests (except those belonging to religious orders) in his dioceses, as well as the local spiritual leader of all the faithful of his diocese.
Bishops are always chosen and appointed by the Pope (although in some of the Eastern rites, Bishops are actually appointed at a synod of Bishops and the choice ratified by the Pope).

A third archbishop noted that belief and practice go together, and persistent immoral practice shows the presence of false belief; that unity in Christian fellowship depends on acceptance of the authority of Scripture and what it teaches.
