Quite a few, actually, but the two best known are: A Bishop can confirm and ordain. A priest cannot administer ordination and can only administer confirmation under certain circumstances with a Bishop's permission. Also, a Bishop is considered the primary exorcist, priests can only exorcise if they have been appointed by the Bishop.
The Bishop is a priest first, and continues to do all the things a priest does, thus he celebrates the Holy Mass, is the normal person who baptizes, counsels people, etc. In addition to all of those ceremonies, the bishop has a couple that are his alone: the Bishop is the usual minister for confirmation, a priest cannot confirm without the Bishop's permission. The Bishop blesses and consecrates the sacred oils during Holy Week, and it is he who consecrates and blesses Churches, altars, etc. But it is the Bishop alone who can ordain a priest or consecrate another Bishop (with the permission of the Holy Father).
A bishop is the next highest in the order of priesthood. A bishop holds much larger power and controls the diocese.Roman Catholic AnswerA Bishop is the fullness of Christ's priesthood. Priests only participate in the Bishop's priesthood, they are helpers who do not have the fullness or priesthood: they can not ordain, and, normally do not confirm, except with special permission, or at the Easter Vigil, and using the Oil that was consecrated by the Bishop.
Bishops are chosen by the pope. To become a Catholic bishop you must be a priest and you must be ordained as a bishop by any member of the clergy of bishop or higher, such as a Patriarch or Cardinal. You must of course, be a good priest, leader and pastor, well adept at leading your flock. You must be "a good pastor of souls and teacher of the Faith." While a bishop or cardinal etc. may ordain a bishop, it is essentially up to the Pope who becomes a bishop.
