A bishop typically serves within his assigned jurisdiction, known as a diocese, and is responsible for the spiritual and administrative oversight of that area. However, in certain circumstances, such as emergencies or special assignments, a bishop may be granted permission to act outside his jurisdiction, often with the approval of the pope or other higher church authorities. This practice is generally intended to maintain order and respect for the established ecclesiastical boundaries.
