During the ordination of a bishop, the bishop-elect makes several promises, including loyalty and obedience to the Pope, ministering faithfully, preaching the Gospel, and fostering unity with the Church. The bishop also declares his belief in the faith and commits to upholding the teachings of the Church. Additionally, prayers are said over the bishop-elect asking for the grace and guidance of the Holy Spirit in his new role.

No, not all members of the clergy are required to receive holy orders. In some religious traditions, such as Buddhism or some sects of Protestantism, clergy members may not undergo a formal ordination process. It ultimately depends on the specific beliefs and practices of a particular religion.

There are only three orders of the Holy Orders, the first is Deacon, the second is priesthood, and the third (AND FINAL) is Bishop. Every single Archbishop, Cardinal, and Pope are all just Bishops when it comes right down to it. Archbishop, Cardinal, and Pope are three "ranks" if you will, above that of Bishop, but only in administration, they are all equally bishops.
Roman Catholic AnswerOnly the Bishop carries the fullness of the priesthood of Jesus Christ. All priests and deacons in his diocese share in his priesthood, and they all share in the priesthood of Jesus Christ.
The sacrament of Holy Orders can only be administered by a Bishop, which includes, of course, cardinals and the pope as they are bishops.Traditionally, Orders were split into minor orders and major orders, though the minor orders and the subdiaconate have since been suppressed following Vatican II. Properly speaking, the ordination to priesthood is what constitutes the sacrament of Holy Orders since all the other orders are automatically received, if not already possessed, by virtue of the sacrament.Minor Orders:PorterLectorExorcistAcolyteMajor Orders:SubdiaconateDiaconatePriesthood

He was ordained as a priest on All Saints' Day, November 1, 1946, and was ordained a bishop on September 28, 1958.
The result of Holy Orders (in the Catholic Church) is an indellible mark on the man's soul that, depending if he is being Ordained a Deacon, Priest, or Bishop, allows him to confer the Sacraments and as such act as a mediator between us and Christ. As a side note Deacon's can only confer the Sacraments of Matrimony and Baptism; Priest's can confer Baptism, The Eucharist, Confirmation, Absolution through Confession, Marriage, and Anointing of the Sick (also called Last Rites or Extreme Unction); Bishop's can confer all seven Sacraments including Holy Orders.
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).
