Who is the designated minister of holy orders?
The designated minister of holy orders is typically a bishop, as bishops are the only clergy who have the authority to ordain priests and deacons within the Catholic Church and other denominations that follow similar practices. This sacrament is considered a continuation of the apostolic succession, which is the unbroken line of authority passed down from the apostles. In some traditions, a priest may also administer the sacrament in specific circumstances, such as in the case of emergency ordinations.
Did the apostles serve as the first bishops?
A:No. The apostles did not serve as bishops, nor did they appoint bishops. It is clear from the New Testament that even St Paul did not appoint bishops and did not have the undisputed authority of a bishop in the communities to which he wrote.THe Christian Church began to appoint bishops some time during the first half of the second century, long after the time of the apostles. Francis Aloysius Sullivan (From Apostles to Bishops: The Development of the Episcopacy in the Early Church) says that when 1 Clementwas written, in the 90s of the first century, the structure of leadership at Rome did not differ much from that at Corinth. That letter gives us good reason to conclude that there was no bishop in charge of the church of Corinth at the time. The terms used in the letter to describe the leaders of the Corinthian church hegoumenoi, episcopoi, presbuteroi, archontes are all in the plural. The term most frequently used is presbuteroi; Clement calls on those guilty of the schism to "submit to the presbyters," and to allow the "flock of Christ to be at peace with its duly appointed presbyters." It seems inconceivable that, if there had been a bishop in charge of the church of Corinth at that time, Clement would not have said something about the obligation of the guilty parties to submit to their bishop or about his role in restoring good order to his church. On this evidence, neither Corinth nor Rome appears to have yet had a bishop appointed by the end of the first century, and it is equally unlikely that that any other Christian centre had..Catholic AnswerCertainly, the apostles were the first bishops, they were personally ordained by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, at the Last Supper, when He commissioned them to as Bishops, later he entrusted them with the ability to absolve sins. All Bishops and priests in the world have come from those twelve men (that includes St. Paul).
Do the Catholic Bishops participate in politics?
Yes, as individuals, Catholic Bishops participate in politics, just like every other citizen. However as a body, like the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, they are obliged to speak out to protect the "common good" when the future depends on it, and when the government - as an authority - acts illegitimately.

Charles A Callis Priesthood LIne of Authority?
Charles A. Callis was ordained an Apostle on April 14, 1934, by President Heber J. Grant. His priesthood line of authority would stem from this ordination through the laying on of hands by President Grant and any other Apostles who participated in the ordination. This authority can be traced back to the restoration of the priesthood through Joseph Smith and the original Apostles of the Church.
Where do the bishop eats?
bishops usually eat in a church with other bishops
How can bishop Carlton Pearson be a bishop if he is not Catholic?
The word bishop can be, and is, used by many groups and denominations and it often means any of the various Protestant clerical officials who superintend other clergy. Since Mr. Pearson is not a Catholic, his title does not have the same meaning as that conferred upon priests in the Catholic Church as we enjoy apostolic succession. Apostolic succession is the line of bishops stretching back to the apostles. All over the world, all Catholic bishops are part of a lineage that goes back to the time of the apostles, something that is impossible in Protestant denominations (most of which do not even claim to have bishops).
Where did Jesus institute the sacrament of holy orders?
Jesus instituted the sacrament of Holy Orders at the Last Supper when he appointed his Apostles as the first bishops and priests by instructing them to continue his ministry through the celebration of the Eucharist and other sacraments.
We know that Saint Peter began the Catholic church but what other churches were started by the other 11 apostles?
The eleven other apostles did not start any other churches. They all became bishops of the Catholic Church. Also, Saint Peter did not start the Catholic Church. Christ appointed him the head of the Church that He- Christ- started.
