Who outranks a bishop?
The highest holy order is bishop, so bishops, archbishops, cardinals and popes are all bishops. However, in terms of rank, an archbishop is higher than a bishop, a cardinal is higher than an archbishop, and a pope is higher than a cardinal. The Pope appoints the cardinals, and cardinals appoint a pope. They are different things, and sometimes the same. An Archbishop is usually just the bishop of an Archdiocese. He may or may not be a Cardinal as well. A cardinal is not necessarily even a priest, although that is very uncommon in modern times, we still do have a number of cardinals who are appointed for one reason or another who are not bishops, and do not wish to be made bishops. They are not one higher than another, a Cardinal is just someone who has been honored with the responsibility of voting for the next Pope.
Can a bishop ever be unmade a bishop?
Yes if the Bishop commits a sin which warrants his having his authority taken away from him. This has to be done by a higher authority. Usually this is followed be excommunication from the church.Roman Catholic AnswerNo, Catholic Bishop, like a priest is ontologically made into something different when he is consecrated. He is no longer what he was, he is now a bishop, and has been made that by God. It is more than an office, a vocation, or a job, it is what he is. So, no, only God would "unmake" a bishop, and the Good Lord never goes back on what He does. The Holy Father can remove him from his responsibilities as a Bishop but he can not "unmake" him.

What is higher than a vicar?
In the hierarchy of the Christian church, a bishop is typically considered higher than a vicar. A vicar often serves as a representative of a bishop in a parish, while bishops oversee multiple parishes and have broader responsibilities within the church structure.

How is a bishop's consecration done?
Bishops are chosen by the pope. To become a Catholic bishop you must be a priest and you must be ordained as a bishop by any member of the clergy of bishop or higher, such as a Patriarch or Cardinal. You must of course, be a good priest, leader and pastor, well adept at leading your flock. You must be "a good pastor of souls and teacher of the Faith." While a bishop or cardinal etc. may ordain a bishop, it is essentially up to the Pope who becomes a bishop.
