The office of the bishop is divided into three powers what are they?

Answer 1

The three offices held by the Bishop, within the boundaries of his diocese are (A) teaching, (B) sanctifying and (C) governing. A) "Bishops, with priests as co-workers, have as their first task to preach the Gospel of God to all men, in keeping with the Lord's command. They are heralds of faith, who draw new disciples to Christ; they are authentic teachers of the apostolic faith "endowed with the authority of Christ." (CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH # 888) B) "The bishop is the steward of the grace of the supreme priesthood, especially in the Eucharist which he offers personally or who's offering he assures through the priests, his co-workers. The Eucharist is the center of the life of the particular Church. The bishop and priests sanctify the Church by their prayer and work, by their ministry of the word and of the sacraments. They sanctify her by their example, not as domineering over those in your charge but being examples to the flock. Thus, together with the flock entrusted to them, they may attain to eternal life." (CCC #893) C) "The bishops, as vicars and legates of Christ, govern the particular Churches assigned to them by their counsels, exhortations, and example, but over and above that also by the authority and sacred power which indeed they ought to exercise so as to edify, in the spirit of service which is that of their Master. " (CCC #894)
