We are talking about three things, not two, the corporation sole, the
role of bishop, and the person who occupies the role of bishop for a
given bishopric.    (03)

The Bishopric is an intangible individual (like a corporation) that can
own property and has been granted authority to perform certain kinds
of acts.    (04)

A Person while performing the role of Bishop, has the derived authority
to perform the actions which the Bishopric is permitted.  This is the
same as any other corporate officer being permitted to act in the name
of her corporation when authorized.    (05)
