===Archbishops ''ad personam''<span class="anchor" id="Archbishops ad personam"></span><span class="anchor" id="Archbishop ad personam"></span> === The rank of archbishop is conferred on some bishops who are not ordinaries of an archdiocese. They hold the rank not because of the see that they head but because it has been granted to them personally (''ad personam''). Such a grant can be given when someone who already holds the rank of archbishop is transferred to a see that, though its present-day importance may be greater than the person's former see, is not archiepiscopal. The bishop transferred is then known as the archbishop-bishop of his new see. An example is [[Gianfranco Gardin]], appointed Archbishop-Bishop of [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Treviso|Treviso]] on 21 December 2009.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www2.ofmconv.pcn.net/en/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=294:naming-of-the-archbishop-bishop-of-treviso-italy&catid=1:news&Itemid=87|title=Friars Minor Conventual - Naming of the Archbishop-Bishop of Treviso, Italy|website=www2.ofmconv.pcn.net|access-date=2019-06-14|archive-date=2021-05-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210513065545/http://www2.ofmconv.pcn.net/en/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=294:naming-of-the-archbishop-bishop-of-treviso-italy&catid=1:news&Itemid=87|url-status=dead}}</ref> The title borne by the successor of such an archbishop-bishop is merely that of Bishop of the see, unless he also is granted the personal title of Archbishop. Another example is [[Arthur Roche]], who was [[Roman Catholic Bishop of Leeds|Bishop of Leeds]] until his appointment as [[Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments|Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments]]. Roche remained a bishop by virtue of his position as bishop emeritus of Leeds β rather than being transferred to a different titular archbishopric, he was appointed as an archbishop ''ad personam''.
