Head Bishop Honcho or a Multi-Mitred Multitude?
Some might assume there's just one big cheese, ruling the San Diego diocese with an iron (or perhaps a ceremonial) crosier. But fear not, fellow faith-curious friends, the answer is far more interesting!
San Diego boasts a whole team of Bishops, working together to lead the local Catholic community. Think of them as the Avengers of Archbishop-dom (though slightly less likely to assemble to fight alien invasions... probably).
So, How Many Bishops Are We Talking About?
Here's the crux of the biscuit (or should we say the communion wafer?): the number of Bishops in San Diego isn't set in stone. It can vary depending on clergy appointments and retirements.
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
As of today, however, San Diego enjoys the spiritual guidance of:
- 1 Cardinal Bishop: That's right, San Diego has a Cardinal – basically a Bishop with superpowers (well, more responsibility really). Currently, this heavyweight title belongs to Cardinal Robert W. McElroy.
- 3 Auxiliary Bishops: These Bishops support the Cardinal Bishop in his duties, like having his back during particularly epic sermons or helping out with extra confirmations.
So, that brings the grand total to a grand total of... 4 Bishops! Four shepherds to guide the San Diego flock. Not bad, eh?
Bonus Fun Fact: Did you know there's also a school named The Bishop's School in San Diego? Completely unrelated to our Bishops of course (although maybe a good career path if you ever fancy a promotion to Cardinal Headmaster?).
Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.

How to become a Bishop in San Diego?
This one's a tricky one. There's no Bishop-in-a-Box kit, unfortunately. It involves years of religious study, dedication to the faith, and possibly a killer dodgeball game (hey, you never know what might be on the entrance exam).
Reminder: Take a short break if the post feels long.

How often do they hold Bishop meetings?
Probably more often than your HOA meetings, that's for sure. But seriously, Bishop schedules are likely jam-packed, so these meetings might be swift and to the point.
How many mitres do they all have?
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
Enough to make a pretty impressive hat collection, that's for sure.
Do they all live in a giant Bishop mansion?
Nope! Bishops typically live in more modest settings, though with all that heavenly guidance, they probably have pretty sweet beach rentals.
Can I just call them up and ask for life advice?
Bishops are busy folks, but they do hold regular public events. So, your best bet is to catch them at a service or community event and strike up a conversation (just maybe avoid asking about their mitre collection on the first go).
