Saint Ignatius said in the second century: where the bishop is, there is the Church; you cannot call yourself Church without a bishop, and the Church is not valid as Church without a bishop.

Like God our Father, who sent his Son to be the Shepherd, the bishop is a Father; a Father in the Church and a Father who leads the family.
