Drâa-El-Gamra
Drâa-El-Gamra is an archaeological site in Tunisia, the site of the ancient city of Gor. It remains a Latin Catholic titular see. History In Antiquity the location was known as Gor. It was originally a Punic city. The Roman era ''civitas'', mentioned by Saint Augustine, was located beside the aqueduct to Carthage. Drâa-El-Gamra was the seat of an ancient episcopal see of the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis. Only two bishops are historically known. Victor took part in the council held at Carthage in 256 by Saint Cyprian to discuss the question of the ''lapsi''. Restitutus intervened at the Council of Carthage (411). Like most of the many suffragans of Carthage, it faded. Titular see Gor was nominally restored as a Latin titular bishopric in 1933.

Apostolic Administrator
An Apostolic administration in the Catholic Church is administrated by a prelate appointed by the pope to serve as the ordinary for a specific area. Either the area is not yet a diocese (a stable 'pre-diocesan', usually missionary apostolic administration), or is a diocese, eparchy or similar permanent ordinariate (such as a territorial prelature or a territorial abbacy) that either has no bishop (an apostolic administrator ''sede vacante'', as after an episcopal death or resignation) or, in very rare cases, has an incapacitated bishop (apostolic administrator ''sede plena''). Characteristics Apostolic administrators of stable administrations are equivalent in canon law with diocesan bishops, meaning they have essentially the same authority as a diocesan bishop. This type of apostolic administrator is usually the bishop of a titular see. Administrators ''sede vacante'' or ''sede plena'' only serve in their role until a newly chosen diocesan bishop takes possession of the dioc ...

Bishop-Prelate
In the Catholic Church, a bishop is an ordained minister who holds the fullness of the sacrament of holy orders and is responsible for teaching doctrine, governing Catholics in his jurisdiction, sanctifying the world and representing the Church. Catholics trace the origins of the office of bishop to the apostles, who it is believed were endowed with a special charism and office by the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Catholics believe this special charism and office has been transmitted through an unbroken succession of bishops by the laying on of hands in the sacrament of holy orders. Diocesan bishops—known as eparchs in the Eastern Catholic Churches—are assigned to govern local regions within the Catholic Church known as dioceses in the Latin Church and eparchies in the Eastern Churches. Bishops are collectively known as the College of Bishops and can hold such additional titles as archbishop, cardinal, patriarch, or pope. As of 2020, there were approximately 5,600 ...
