Not all bishops are called primates, only the bishop who exercises authority over a national territory. That authority usually means convoking and presiding over national councils, hearing appeals, and crowning the sovereign (if his nation has one). The title is of honor only, it is not defined in Canon Law. - from Fr. Hardon's Modern Catholic Dictionary.
