:The answer is relatively simple: [[Titular bishop]]. Although the diocese does not exist any more, the title still exists. Bishop Frank Joseph Caggiano is ''auxiliary bishop'' (assistant) of Brooklyn. But making him titular bishop of Inis Cathaigh he has the same (church-)rights and powers as the real bishop. <span style="border:1px solid green; padding:0 2px">[[User:The Banner|<span style="font-family:'Old English Text MT',serif;color:green">The&nbsp;Banner</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:The Banner|<i style="color:maroon">talk</i>]]</span> 20:38, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
