vicar apostolic
A Vicar Apostolic is a Roman Catholic clergyman appointed by the Pope to serve as the ordinary, or head, of an apostolic vicariate. These vicariates are typically established in regions where there is no diocese, often missionary territories or areas where the Catholic Church is not well established. The Vicar Apostolic has the same responsibilities and authority as a diocesan bishop, but his jurisdiction is not permanent and may be changed or revoked by the Pope.
