What is the difference between a village priest and a bishop?
A village priest has no real power beyond his little bit of his church. A bishop has much more power over the priest, but not as much as a cardinal. To put it in a business way. The priest is the worker, the bishop is a manager, the cardinal is a Vice president of the company, and the Pope is the CEO.
Do Bishops of the Catholic Faith answer to a Cardinal?
Under Western Canon Law a Bishop would only answer to a Cardinal: 1) if the Bishop is an auxiliary bishop and that bishop's ordinary happens to be a Cardinal (e.g., when Bishop Fulton Sheen was auxiliary Bishop of New York he answered to His Eminence Francis Cardinal Spellman, Cardinal Archbishop of new York) 2) if the Bishop is dealing with any Cardinal in the Roman Curia in an office that has authority over him (e.g., if a Bishop is dealing with the Congregation of Bishops)
Who outranks a bishop?
The highest holy order is bishop, so bishops, archbishops, cardinals and popes are all bishops. However, in terms of rank, an archbishop is higher than a bishop, a cardinal is higher than an archbishop, and a pope is higher than a cardinal. The Pope appoints the cardinals, and cardinals appoint a pope. They are different things, and sometimes the same. An Archbishop is usually just the bishop of an Archdiocese. He may or may not be a Cardinal as well. A cardinal is not necessarily even a priest, although that is very uncommon in modern times, we still do have a number of cardinals who are appointed for one reason or another who are not bishops, and do not wish to be made bishops. They are not one higher than another, a Cardinal is just someone who has been honored with the responsibility of voting for the next Pope.
