While not a Bishop- Saint Paul urgently commanded women ( keep silent!) in the affais of the Church- this has been taken as a terse silence command by the hierarchy. The Church has never sanctioned (in the positive sense)- not like economic sanctions) female clergy- only in the past 20 years have they admitted Altar Girls. On the other hand in some Religious orders, Women in the Abbess role had powers roughly analogous to a Bishop and indeed toted the Bishop"s Crozier or hook- a ceremonial mark of Episcopal rank. Several Austrian Princesses were in these large abbeys and indeed did ascend to the Abbess role- this was in the the nineteenth century, however. One of the last of them , an unusually tall woman, died in the first decade of the twentieth century- yes, she was the Abbess-princess Margaret Sophie.

What degrees do you need to be a Pope in the Catholic Church?
None, the only requirement for a Pope of the Catholic Church is that he be a baptized and confirmed adult male Catholic. If he is not already a Bishop, the man elected to the position will be tonsured, instituted into the ministries of lector and acolyte, and ordained deacon, priest, and bishop on succeeding days.
Can a recent baptized Mormon also be an assistant bishop?
Yes. Any married adult male who has recenly converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon"church) can be ordained as a counselor to the Bishop. In fact, they are sometimes ordained as Bishops within the first year of their conversion! This is because adult male converts are generally ordained to the priesthood within the same month of their baptism, making them eligible for most positions of authority within the Church. Be aware, however, that positions of priesthood authority, such as a bishop or bishop's counselor, are not something that you apply or request to do. A Church leader must come to you and ask if you would be willing to fill the position, not the other way around.
Can baptists marry catholics?
Yes as long as one is male and the other female! If you want to get married in a Catholic church then you'll have to obey their rules. At the very least you will need permission from the Bishop.

Does the Mormen church allow women to become Bishops?
No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) only ordains men to the Priesthood, which means that only men may be ordained as Bishops, Priests, Deacons, etc. Mormons believe in the Biblical definition of a Bishop, which says "A Bishop must be...the husband of one wife." (1 Timothy 3:2) Typically, nearly every Mormon male over 12 is ordained to the Priesthood and has a Priesthood responsibility, and nearly any married Mormon male is a candidate for being a Bishop. Just because women are not ordained to the priesthood does not mean that they don't have leadership roles. Women work together closely with Bishops and top Church leaders. They organize and coordinate charity and relief efforts and congregation activities. Women lead the Relief Society (the women's organization of the Church), the Children's Primary/Sunday School, and youth groups. Women give sermons, lead congregational prayers, and teach classes for both children and adults. They travel the world serving as missionaries as well.
