21-630: The Lord High Almoner is usually a diocesan bishop or high cleric of the Church of England . There is also an hereditary Grand Almoner , an office dating from 1685 and vested in the person of the Marquess of Exeter , but this is not an office of the Royal Almonry and he has no role to play. The actual work of the office is undertaken by the Sub-Almoner (currently Paul Wright ), who is also

42-682: A coadjutor bishop for a diocese. He has special faculties and the right of succession. The diocesan bishop may request that the Holy See appoint one or more auxiliary bishops to assist him in his duties. When a diocesan bishop or auxiliary bishop retires, the word " emeritus " is added to his former title, i.e., "Archbishop Emeritus of ...", "Bishop Emeritus of ...", or "Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus of ...". Examples of usage are: "The Most Reverend (or Right Reverend) John Jones, Bishop Emeritus of Anytown"; and "His Eminence Cardinal James Smith, Archbishop Emeritus of Anycity". The term "Bishop Emeritus" of

For example, in the Episcopal Church in the United States of America , when a diocesan bishop announces

84-687: A diocesan bishop. For example, Bishop Dennis Marion Schnurr of the Diocese of Duluth , Minnesota , was named Coadjutor Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati , Ohio , in 2008 to succeed aging Archbishop Daniel Edward Pilarczyk . However, other situations do arise—a coadjutor may have authority to override the diocesan bishop with respect to a matter of public scandal, mismanagement, or other some problem that does not warrant removal from office. The revised Code of Canon Law stipulates that all coadjutors have right of succession, while providing for

105-512: A particular see can apply to several people, if the first lives long enough. The sees listed in the 2007 Annuario Pontificio as having more than one bishop emeritus included Zárate-Campana, Villavicencio, Versailles, and Uruguaiana. There were even three Archbishops Emeriti of Taipei. The same suffix was applied to the Bishop of Rome , Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI , on his retirement. Archiereus ( Ancient Greek : ἀρχιερεύς , Russian, arkhierei )

126-544: Is a Greek term for diocesan bishop, when considered as the culmination of the priesthood . It is used in the liturgical books of the Eastern Orthodox Church and Eastern Catholic Church , for those services which correspond to the pontifical services of the Roman Rite . The term is distinct from protoiereus ( archpriest ), the highest ecclesiastical rank which a married priest may attain in

147-439: Is only nominal, not pastoral- meaning he does not exercise final authority as the head bishop (the ordinary), or have the right to automatically succeed the aforementioned individual (the coadjutor), over an existing diocese or archdiocese or their Eastern rite equivalents, (arch-)eparchies. Titular bishops may be active or retired. Occasionally, as a priest, they may have been given a titular bishopric or archbishopric as an honor by

168-720: The Deputy Clerk of the Closet of the Ecclesiastical Household , Sub-Dean of the Chapel Royal , and Domestic Chaplain at Buckingham Palace . There are in addition a Secretary, and Assistant Secretary, both offices of which are shared with other Royal Household appointments. There are also half a dozen wandsmen.

189-620: The Roman Catholic Church may be assistant bishops with special faculties, coadjutor bishops (these bishops are now named as coadjutors of the dioceses they will lead, and not as titular bishops), auxiliary bishops , nuncios or similar papal diplomats (usually archbishops), officials of the Roman Curia (usually for bishops as heads or deputies of departments who are not previous ordinaries), etc. They may also hold other positions such as cardinal. The see of titular bishop

210-656: The Greek Church. The word is used in the New Testament Epistle to the Hebrews to mean " high priest " (Heb 2:17; 3:1; 4:14,15; 5:1,5,10; 6:20; 7:26,27,28; 8:1,3; 9:7,11,25; 19:11; 13:11).

231-522: The Pope, similar to when he names some cardinals. A diocesan bishop — in the Catholic Church — is entrusted with the pastoral care of a local Church ( diocese ), over which he holds ordinary jurisdiction.

252-457: The administration of the diocese. The coadjutor (literally, "co-assister" in Latin) is a bishop himself, although he is also appointed as vicar general . The coadjutor bishop is, however, given authority beyond that ordinarily given to the vicar general, making him co-head of the diocese in all but ceremonial precedence. In modern times, the coadjutor automatically succeeds the diocesan bishop upon

273-553: The appointment of an auxiliary bishop "with special faculties" in lieu of a coadjutor when automatic succession is not indicated. The 1917 edition of the Code of Canon Law distinguished between coadjutor bishops cum jure succesionis ("with the right of succession") and those without, so coadjutors were sometimes appointed without such a right, usually as archbishops in particularly large dioceses who also held other important posts and to honor certain auxiliary bishops. For an example of

294-457: The coadjutor as vicar general and must "entrust to him before others" acts that require a special mandate (Canon 406§1). The coadjutor holds the title of "Coadjutor" of the see, and the coadjutor of an archdiocese has status as an archbishop. Some sui juris Eastern Catholic Churches also appoint coadjutors, but the manner of choosing them follows the norm of the particular law of each church for election or appointment of its bishops. Thus,

315-430: The feet of Maundy recipients. Diocesan bishop A diocesan bishop , within various Christian traditions, is a bishop or archbishop in pastoral charge of a diocese or archdiocese .

They may also hold various other positions such as being a cardinal or patriarch . Titular bishops in

336-546: The intent to retire they may call for a special diocesan convention to elect a coadjutor with whom they will serve jointly for a period of time. At the death or retirement of the diocesan, the coadjutor becomes the diocesan bishop. A "bishop suffragan" is elected to assist the Diocesan Bishop and to serve under the Diocesan's direction, but without inherent right of succession. There have been bishops coadjutor in

357-513: The latter's retirement, removal, or death. In the Catholic Church , a coadjutor is a bishop with papal appointment as an immediate collaborator of the diocesan bishop in the governance of a diocese, with authority to substitute for the diocesan bishop in his absence and right to automatic succession to the diocesan see upon death, resignation, or transfer of the incumbent diocesan bishop (Canon 403§3). The diocesan bishop must appoint

378-545: The more widely known examples is the appointment of Fernando Arêas Rifan as Coadjutor of the Personal Apostolic Administration of Saint John Mary Vianney in 2002, less than a year after the reconciliation of the former Priestly Union of Saint John Mary Vianney formed this particular church.

399-449: The patriarchal or major archiepiscopal synods of the larger sui juris ritual churches typically elect coadjutors, with papal assent, while the pope typically appoints coadjutors in the smaller sui juris ritual churches personally. The coadjutor of an eparchy, archeparchy, or metropolis has the respective status of an eparch, archeparch, or metropolitan. Particular churches that are not dioceses also may have coadjutors. Perhaps one of

The service includes various elements, including the Yeomen of the Guard and six wandsmen who act as ushers. At

441-402: The service, the sovereign traditionally gives purses of coins ("Maundy Money") to a man and a woman for every year of the sovereign's age. If the sovereign is infirm, then he or she may be represented by a different member of the royal family; for example, in 2022, Charles, Prince of Wales represented the 95-year-old Elizabeth at the service. Until 1737, the Lord High Almoner personally washed
