  Title: Bishop of Dover
  Passage: The Bishop of Dover is an episcopal title used by a suffragan bishop of the Church of England Diocese of Canterbury, England, The title takes its name after the town of Dover in Kent.  The Bishop of Dover holds the additional title of "Bishop in Canterbury" and is empowered to act almost as if he were the diocesan bishop of Canterbury, since the actual diocesan bishop (the Archbishop of Canterbury) is based at Lambeth Palace in London, and thus is frequently away from his diocese, fulfilling national and international duties.  Among other things, this gives the Bishop of Dover an "ex officio" seat in the Church's General Synod.  Until recently, there was another proper suffragan, the Bishop of Maidstone, who did not have the same extra powers.

  Title: Judicial vicar
  Passage: In the Roman Catholic Church, a judicial vicar or episcopal official (Latin: officialis ) is an officer of the diocese who has ordinary power to judge cases in the diocesan ecclesiastical court.  Although the diocesan bishop can reserve certain cases to himself, the judicial vicar and the diocesan bishop are a single tribunal, which means that decisions of the judicial vicar cannot be appealed to the diocesan bishop but must instead be appealed to the appellate tribunal.  The judicial vicar (or "officialis" ) ought to be someone other than the vicar general, unless the smallness of the diocese or the limited number of cases suggest otherwise.  Other judges, who may be priests, deacons, religious brothers or sisters or nuns, or laypersons, and who must have knowledge of canon law and be Catholics in good standing, assist the judicial vicar either by deciding cases on a single judge basis or by forming with him a panel over which he or one of them presides.  A judicial vicar may also be assisted by adjutant judicial vicars (or "vice-officiales").  The judicial vicar is assisted by at least one, if not more, individuals with the title defender of the bond, they are normally priests, but do not have to be.  On staff will also be notaries and secretaries, who may be priests, religious brothers or sisters or nuns, or laypersons.

  Title: Coadjutor bishop
  Passage: A coadjutor bishop (or bishop coadjutor) is a bishop in the Catholic, Anglican, and (historically) Eastern Orthodox churches whose main role is to assist the diocesan bishop in 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 the latter's retirement, removal, or death.
