===Metropolitan archbishops=== {{Main|Metropolitan bishop}} {{See also|Diocesan bishop}} Episcopal sees are generally arranged in groups in which one see's bishop has certain powers and duties of oversight over the others. He is known as the metropolitan archbishop of that see. In the [[Catholic Church]], [http://www.intratext.com/IXT/ENG0017/_P1I.HTM canon 436 of the Code of Canon Law] indicates what these powers and duties are for a [[Latin Church]] metropolitan archbishop, while those of the head of an autonomous (''[[sui iuris]]'') [[Eastern Catholic Churches]] are indicated in [http://www.intratext.com/IXT/LAT0758/_PJ.HTM canon 157] of the [[Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches]]. All Catholic metropolitans are archbishops, but not all archbishops are metropolitans, though most are.
