What is the Bishop of the Catholic Church called?

Answer 1

Bishop, simple as that. All Bishops are priests including the Pope. ---- A Catholic Answer: Catholics would address a Catholic bishop as "Your Excellency", and one who holds the rank of Cardinal as "Your Eminence."

Answer 2

My experience is that the bishop is simply called, "Bishop".

If you know his surname [let's say it is 'Johnson'], you simply call him, "Bishop Johnson".

You would greet him as "Your Excellency", and then kiss his ring while genuflecting (if he's your Arch/Bishop) or bowing if he is the Arch/Bishop of a Arch/Diocese different than yours.

Answer 3

As of 2006 there were roughly 4,800 bishops. So there is not one Catholic bishop or a bishop who is "the" bishop as your question implies.

Do you mean who is the Catholic Pope?

In that case it's Pope Benedict the XVI.

Answer 4

Roman Catholic AnswerThe role of a Bishop is the fullness of the priesthood of Our Blessed Lord. They are particularly responsible for a diocese, the training and ordination of men to the priesthood. They are responsible for the spiritual welfare of all in their diocese, they usually preside at confirmations.
