An archbishop, or metropolitan, is a bishop who governs a diocese strictly his own, while he presides at the same time over the bishops of a district composed of simple diocese. The archbishop's own diocese is the archdiocese. The several dioceses of the district form the archepiscopal, or metropolitan province.

∙ 13y agoAn Archbishop is the Ordinary (the head) of a Catholic Archdiocese. He has full authority as the diocesan Bishop within the boundaries of their Archdiocese. In addition, an Archbishop is the head of an Ecclesiastical Province comprising his Archdiocese and other dioceses (called suffragans) in that region. In these suffragan dioceses the Archbishop has no authority, but only a higher dignity.
The title of "Archbishop" can also be conferred by the Pope as a personal title on a certain Bishop without that Bishop becoming the head of an Archdiocese. In this case the title is merely honorary and confers no additional authority over and above that which the Bishop already possessed.
