Bishop Martino, is a ultra-conservative Bishop, who saw himself as the Shepard and the people as the sheep.

No, it is not; we can liken his position to that of a president who has to maintain the laws of his country - who can only do this if people answer to him (as provided for in the constitution), so too is it with the Bishop of Rome.
It depends. An Auxillary Bishop is usually the assistant Bishop. When there is a large jurisdiction or region, the Jurisdictional Bishop usually appoints assistants.
