Both bishops and archbishops have the fullness of the priesthood, that is, they are empowered to administer the sacrament of Order. Both are bishops; there is no higher RANKING in the priesthood as all bishops are equal.
Those named Cardinal, Archbishop, Apostolic Nuncio,Canon, Monsignor, etc., are Prelates of Honour and their title merely indicates the ADMINISTRATIVE posts which they hold, including the title of Pope or Patriarch. The Pope is acknowledged to be first among equals - that is, first among his brother bishops.
