Is a diocese headed by an archbishop?
No. In general a diocese is headed by a bishop, and an archbishop heads an archdiocese. The difference between a diocese and and archdiocese is size not importance. The plural form is still dioceses. Some diocese or archdiocese are actually headed by Cardinals. Many orders have provinces that are headed by Provincials, these provinces overlay the borders of diocese. The Catholic church considers all Cardinals, Archbishops, and Bishops as the Bishops of the Church and in the United States the leadership is called the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
