Answer
In the ecclesiastical hierarchy, a bishop holds a position subordinate to an archbishop. Bishops oversee dioceses, regional administrative divisions of a church, and possess the authority to ordain priests, consecrate other bishops, and administer sacraments. Archbishops, on the other hand, hold higher rank and typically oversee larger ecclesiastical provinces or archdioceses.
