Emeritus bishop
When a diocesan bishop, archbishop, or auxiliary bishop retires, he is given the honorary title of "emeritus" of the last see he served, i.e., archbishop emeritus, bishop emeritus, or auxiliary bishop emeritus of the see. "Emeritus" is not used for a titular see, but could be used for a bishop who has transferred to a nondiocesan appointment without actually being retired. For example, Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, who was promoted to be prefect for the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, became Archbishop Emeritus of Manila.
