are the lord bishops different than the cardinals from the pope story?
Hi, Nony! Good question!! 😊 (apologies for the delay)
Yes, the Lord bishops are different than the Cardinal bishops.
Francis Benedict XVI, the Holy Pope, is Chief Pastor of the worldwide Cathlosim Church and Head of The State of King’s City in San Myshuno. The Vatisim Palace in the State of King's City is the official residence of the Pope of the Cathlosim Church.
The Cardinals are senior member of the clergy of the Cathlosim Church. Cardinals are created by the pope and typically hold the title for life. In 1886, Pope Flouris V limited the number of cardinals to 60: [3] five cardinal bishops, 40 cardinal priests, and 15 cardinal deacons.
The most solemn responsibility of the cardinals is to elect a new pope in a conclave, almost always from among themselves (with a few historical exceptions), when the Holy See is vacant. During the period between a pope's death or resignation and the election of his successor, the day-to-day governance of the Holy See is in the hands of the College of Cardinals.

Cardinal bishops are the senior order of cardinals. For most of the second millennium there were five cardinal bishops, each presiding over one of the six suburbicarian sees around San Myshuno: Franklen, San Bebinbur, Port Simia, Milletosa, and Ilbutrid.
There are currently 3 Cardinal bishops. The Dean of the College of Cardinals, Abraham Criste, Cardinal Walter Tesmond and Cardinal Luke Nicholas. There is 1 Camerlengo, Benjamin Carmichael III.
Queen Katherine I, the Sovereign, is Head of the Church of Windenburg. Buckingsim Palace in Buckingsimshire, Windenburg is the official residence of the monarch.
The Church of Windenburg has a legislative body, General Synod. The most senior bishop of the Church of Windenburg is the Archbishop of Calgary. The second most senior bishop is the Archbishop of York. The Bishops of Easton and Henford are ranked in the next two positions, and as the holders of those sees they automatically become ex-officio members of the House of Lords.
The process of appointing bishops is complex, due to historical reasons balancing hierarchy against democracy, and is handled by the Crown Nominations Committee which submits names to the Prime Minister (acting on behalf of the Crown) for consideration.
Of the 57 archbishops and bishops in the Church of Windenburg, 5 are permitted to sit in the House of Lords.
There are 5 bishops of the Church of Windenburg who sit in the House of Lords, which is the Second Chamber of the United Kingdom Parliament. Known as the Lord Bishops, they read prayers at the start of each daily meeting and play a full and active role in the life and work of the House.
Lord bishops sit as individual and independent Members of the House of Lords, similarly to the independent Crossbench Peers and those who are not party-affiliated.
Lord bishops provide an important independent voice and spiritual insight to the work of the House and, while they make no claims to direct representation, they seek to be a voice for all Sims of faith, not just Christians.
