Wasn't he already ordained when he became a priest? Holy Orders are one of the sacraments of the Church, and there are technically three di¤ erent ranks of Holy Orders a man can be ordained to: deacon, priest and bishop. While it is true that Bishop- elect Rodriguez will always b e a deacon and a priest, when one becomes a bishop, they enter into the highest rank of Holy Orders. It's similar to how a transitional deacon is ordained once more when he becomes a priest. Conversely, if Bishop-elect Rodriguez were to become a cardinal one day, he would not be ordained a cardinal, as the Church teaches that cardinalship isn't a separate sacramental order, but rather a particular position of ministry. What is an auxiliary bishop? An auxiliary bishop is a bishop assigned to a Catholic diocese or archdiocese to assist its residential bishop in meeting the pastoral needs of the faithful. Whether in a diocese or archdiocese, his title is bishop. How to address an auxiliary bishop? There's no need to call the auxiliary bishop as such; because Bishop- elect Rodriguez is being ordained a bishop, he can be addressed simply as "bishop" or "your excellency."
