Does the bishop have authority over Catholic hospitials in his diocese?
He may, it depends. The bishop has authority over every piece of property owned by the Catholic Church in his diocese - actually, in the United States, he is listed as the sole owner as a corporate sole. He has authority over every Catholic in his diocese. So if the Catholic hospital is owned by a religious order or by the diocese, and has Catholic working there, he would have moral authority over them. If the diocese actually owns the hospital or the Bishop is on the Board of Directors, then he would have direct legal input. A lot depends on how the hospital is set up.

What ended the authority of priests and bishops?
The authority of priests and bishops within the wider Christian church has not ended.Roman Catholic AnswerThe "authority" of priests and bishops is only a participation in the authority of Jesus Christ over His Church. They have no authority on their own, but only when they are speaking as His representatives. As such, their "authority" will last as that of Our Blessed Lord. As He created the entire world, then I suppose His authority, as exercised through His priests and Bishops, will last as long as the world lasts.

What is the mean of archdioceses?
In Christianity, a diocese is an administrative territorial unit administered by a bishop. It is also referred to as a bishopric or Episcopal Area (as in United Methodism) or episcopal see, though strictly the term episcopal see refers to the domain of ecclesiastical authority officially held by the bishop, and bishopric to the post of being bishop. The diocese is the key geographical unit of authority in the form of church governance known as episcopal polity. In the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion, an important diocese is called an archdiocese (usually due to size, historical significance, or both), which is governed by an archbishop, who may be exempt from or have metropolitan authority over the other ('suffragan') dioceses within a wider jurisdiction called an ecclesiastical province.

As the Diocese of Orange is not involved in that ministry, it does not fall upon the Diocese to decide if "The Hour of Power" shall continue; only the ministry operating it can decide if it wishes to continue the broadcast.

Does the Catholic Church punish priests?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church has certain procedures in place, contained in the Codex Iuris Canoici (Code of Canon Law). Book VII contains Processes, which contains trials, special procedures, penal procedures, etc. The internal ordering and competent authority are covered in Book II. In the final analysis, the Bishop of a diocese and final authority over all the priests in his diocese. The Bishop, of course, is submissive to the Holy Father. As of right now, I believe the Holy Father, and the competent authority under him, which would be the Congregation for the Clergy, has procedures in place for discipline concerning priests.
