"With their helpers, the priests and deacons, bishops have taken up the service of the community presiding in place of God over the flock whose shepherds they are, as teachers of doctrine, priests of sacred worship, and officers of good order."
(Second Vatican Council, Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, No. 18)
