talking about taking ultimate responsibility for issues, problems, and
their solutions. Often “the buck stops here” is used by presidents,
committee chairpersons, directors of divisions or programs.
Bishops and archbishops are directors of their dioceses. In many ways, bishops and archbishops are the princes of the Catholic Church’s geographical domains. I say princes purposefully because as everyone knows, the Catholic clerical hierarchy is all male and always has been. Bishops rule the dioceses over which they have been given authority by the Holy See, i.e., the Pope.
