Archbishop

From LanceaSanctum

As recognized by The Curia Cruentus...

An Archbishop (····+) holds Praxis in a domain, but is not the spiritual leader of the Sanctified there, and is always advised by at least one Bishop. However, the title of Archbishop is not automatic for any Sanctified who holds Praxis, for it infers greater standing within the Lancea Sanctum. As such, only those with sufficient standing in the Lancea Sanctum may actually claim the title and appoint one or more Bishops to oversee the spiritual affairs of his domain. A Sanctified who does not have sufficient standing and holds Praxis may still be a Bishop, or may simply be the Prince if he leaves the spiritual leadership of the Sanctified to another. An Archbishop's territory is called a diocese or an archdiocese.

Some Sanctified have chosen to define the position in another way, and this has also been informally recognized by the Curia. In this definiton, an Archbishop is a Bishop of greater standing that leads and advises at least three other Bishops, and who may also hold Praxis in a domain (though this is not required). Typically, an Archbishop does not act as Bishop in his own Domain, especially if he also holds Praxis, but this is not always the case. In such cases, the informal title of Prince-Bishop has also been used to recognize the dual roles.
