What is a suffragan bishop?

Roman Catholic ChurchA suffragan bishop is a Roman Catholic bishop who is subordinate to an archbishop with responsibilities over a distinct portion of that archdiocese. The office may eventually evolve into a full archbishopric as the area grows in population to better serve the faithful.Anglican ChurchIn Anglican churches such as The Episcopal Church and the Church of England, a suffragan bishop (or bishop suffragan) is an assistant to a diocesan bishop. Anglican bishops suffragan do not usually have right of succession. The position is similar to those of the bishops auxiliary in the Roman Catholic Church.The first definition refers to a "coadjutor" bishop, with the right of succession, as he existed in the Roman Catholic Church before the Vatican II Council.A suffragan bishop is a bishop subordinate to a metropolitan bishop or diocesan bishop. He may be assigned to an area which does not have a cathedral of its own. In the Latin Church, a suffragan is a bishop who heads a diocese. His diocese, however, is part of a larger ecclesiastical province, nominally led by a metropolitan archbishop. The distinction between metropolitans and suffragans is of limited practical importance. Both are diocesan bishops possessing ordinary jurisdiction over their individual sees. The metropolitan has few responsibilities over the suffragans in his province and no direct authority over the faithful outside of his own diocese
