Roman Catholic AnswerBishops are successors of the Apostles, it is a permanent office established of Our

Blessed Lord on the Apostles, and handed down through Episcopal Consecration (Ordination).

What are the rights for bishops?

Roman Catholic AnswerThat would depend a lot on where he lived, and what he was bishop of. Some bishops were veritable princes, they came from good families and lived as they had grown up. Other bishops were remarkable holy men, living more like a monk or religious priest than a prince. The Bishop, himself, would have secular rights over the people in his district depending on how the local government was set up. A lot depended on where he was, and who the local ruler was, that kind of thing. Remember there was not a lot of traveling around back then, and there was none of the modern communication that we take for granted: no telephones, no computers, no regular mail service in many areas, etc.

Where can I find a copy of Jim Bishop's Christmas column?

He was born in an obscure village, the Child of a peasant teen who knew not man. He grew up in another obscure village, where He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty. Then for three years He was an itinerant preacher. He never married or owned a home. He never held a job, yet paid taxes. He never set foot inside a metropolis. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place He was born. He never wrote a book, or held an office. He did none of the things that usually accompany greatness. He received no awards, no medals, no prizes from His peers. While He was still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against Him. His friends deserted Him. He was turned over to His enemies, and went through the mockery of a trial. He had no lawyers, no friendly juries, no fair hearing. He was nailed to a cross between two thieves. While He was dying, His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had - His cloak. After He died, He was taken down and laid in a borrowed grave. Those who stood watch could not explain His disappearance. And yet two thousand years have come and gone, and today He is still the central figure for much of the human race. All the armies that ever marched and al the navies that ever sailed and all the parliaments that ever sat and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as this "One Solitary Life."
