Category:Roman Catholic bishops by period

This is a category for Roman Catholic bishops organized by the centur(ies) or other period(s) of their authority as bishops. Archbishops are included as a sub-category because their role includes that of "bishop to bishops". Bishops should also be classified by nationality or diocese when a suitable category exists.

Those bishops in post before the 11th century schism with the Orthodox Church (~1054) can be found under Category:Bishops of the Early Church.
