Catholic Bishops

Catholic bishops are senior leaders within the Roman Catholic Church, responsible for overseeing a specific geographic area known as a diocese. They are tasked with spiritual leadership, administration, and ensuring the teaching of Catholic doctrine. Bishops are ordained clergy, meaning they have received the sacrament of Holy Orders. They perform sacraments, such as confirmation and ordination, and play a crucial role in promoting social justice and pastoral care within their communities. Bishops work in collaboration with the Pope, the head of the Catholic Church, and are part of a larger hierarchy that includes archbishops and cardinals.
