supports: In Christianity, an archbishop (via Latin "archiepiscopus", from Greek , from -, "chief", and , "bishop") is a bishop of higher rank or office. In some cases, like the Lutheran Church of Sweden, it is the denomination leader title. Like popes, patriarchs, metropolitans, cardinal bishops, diocesan bishops, and suffragan bishops, archbishops are in the highest of the three traditional orders of bishops, priests, also called presbyters, and deacons. An archbishop may be granted the title, or ordained as chief pastor of a metropolitan see or another episcopal see to which the title of archbishop is attached. Charles II, Count of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen "(German: Karl II, Graf von Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen)" (1547  8 April 1606) became Count of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen in 1576 and remained so until his death. He was the fifth but second surviving son of Charles I, Count of Hohenzollern and Anna, daughter of Ernest, Margrave of Baden-Durlach.  In the Holy Roman Empire, the collective term free and imperial cities, briefly worded free imperial city ('), was used from the fifteenth century to denote a self-ruling city that enjoyed a certain amount of autonomy and was represented in the Imperial Diet. An imperial city held the status of Imperial immediacy, and as such, was subordinate only to the Holy Roman Emperor, as opposed to a territorial city or town (') which was subordinate to a territorial prince  be it an ecclesiastical lord (prince-bishop, prince-abbot) or a secular prince (duke ('), margrave, count ('), etc.). The word diocese is derived from the Greek term "" meaning "administration". When now used in an ecclesiastical sense, it refers to a territorial unit of administration. In the Western Church, the district is under the supervision of a bishop (who may have assistant bishops to help him or her) and is divided into parishes under the care of priests; but in the Eastern Church, the word denotes the area under the jurisdiction of a patriarch and the bishops under his jurisdiction administer parishes. This structure of church governance is known as episcopal polity. Not to be confused with Friedrich von Hohenzollern ( 1449 - 1505 ) . Eitel Friedrich von Hohenzollern - Sigmaringen ( 26 September 1582 -- 19 September 1625 ) was a Roman Catholic Cardinal - Priest and Prince - Bishop of Osnabrück . He was a son of Charles II , Count of Hohenzollern - Sigmaringen and thus a member of the noble and ancient Hohenzollern - Sigmaringen family . On the 15 December 1620 Pope Gregory XV created him Cardinal in pectore , he was publicly proclaimed Cardinal - Priest of S. Lorenzo in Panisperna on 11 Jan 1621 . He was appointed Prince - Bishop of Osnabrück on 28 April 1623 . On the 29 October 1623 he chose to become a priest and was ordained . He was never styled Eminence as this was only done after his death in 1630 . A prince-bishop is a bishop who is also the civil ruler of some secular principality and sovereignty. Thus the principality or prince-bishopric ruled politically by a prince-bishop could wholly or largely overlap with his diocesan jurisdiction, since some parts of his diocese, even the city of his residence, could be exempt from his civil rule, obtaining the status of free imperial city. If the episcopal see is an archbishopric, the correct term is prince-archbishop; the equivalent in the regular (monastic) clergy is prince-abbot. A prince-bishop is usually considered an elected monarch. A prince is a male ruler, monarch, or member of a monarch's or former monarch's family. "Prince" is also a hereditary title in the nobility of some European states. The feminine equivalent is a princess. The English word derives, via the French word "prince", from the Latin noun "princeps", from "primus" (first) + "capio" (to seize), meaning "the chief, most distinguished, ruler, prince". An episcopal see is, in the usual meaning of the phrase, the area of a bishop's ecclesiastical jurisdiction. Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen was a small county in southwestern Germany. Its rulers belonged to the senior Swabian branch of the House of Hohenzollern. The small sovereign state with the capital city of Sigmaringen was annexed to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1850 following the abdication of its sovereign in the wake of the revolutions of 1848, then became part of the newly created Province of Hohenzollern. A Prince-Abbot is a title for a cleric who is a Prince of the Church (like a Prince-Bishop), in the sense of an "ex officio" temporal lord of a feudal entity, notably a State of the Holy Roman Empire. The secular territory ruled by the head of an abbey is known as Prince-Abbacy or Abbey-principality. The holder, however, does not hold the ecclesiastical office of a Bishop.
