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.

What is the pension of a Catholic priest?
Every Catholic priest in the world is ordained by a particular Bishop. When he is ordained, he makes solemn promises of obedience to that Bishop and his successors. Thus he is paid either by that Bishop if he is a secular priest, or he is a religious priest, works for an Order (like the Jesuits or Benedictines) and does not receive a salary. If he is a diocesian priest, the diocese is responsible for him in his retirement, if he is a religious priest, then his Order will take care of him in his retirement. Thus every priest is going to have a different "pension" from nothing, if he belongs to a religious Order and has taken a vow of poverty, to whatever his Bishop thinks he needs to live.
