What powers does the bishop give to the priests and the deacons?

Answer 1

As found at Catholicbook.com: The answer is Power of Orders.

1. Deacons can baptize, preach, and give Holy Communion.

   The Apostles ordained the first deacons. The deacons were appointed by the Apostles to distribute alms and were consecrated by the laying on of hands accompanied by prayers (Acts 6:6).

2. Priests have higher orders than deacons. They can offer the holy sacrifice of the Mass, and forgive sins in the Sacrament of Penance. They can administer all sacraments except those of Confirmation and Holy Orders. With special faculties they may even administer Confirmation, in the Catholic Eastern Rites priests administer Confirmation immediately after Baptism.

   Priests were prefigured in the seventy-two diciples of Our Lord. The word "priest" is derived from the Greek presbyter, which means "the elder" a term used by the first converted Jews.

3. Bishops have full power of orders; they are the successors of the Apostles. A bishop administers all the sacraments; he alone administers Holy Orders. He consecrates holy oils, churches, chalices, etc.

   Archbishops, primates, patriarchs, and even the Pope himself have no fuller power of orders than a bishop of a missionary diocese.
