The Roman Catholic Diocese of Goroka is a suffragan diocese of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Rabaul. It was erected in 2003. The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Rabaul is a Metropolitan Archdiocese in Papua New Guinea. It is responsible for the suffragan dioceses of Bougainville, Kavieng and Kimbe. In Roman (Latin Rite) Catholicism, a metropolitan archdiocese is an archdiocese which is the head of an ecclesiastical province. The archbishop of the archdiocese is called the metropolitan. An archbishop (from Greek -, chief, and , bishop) is a bishop of higher rank, but not of higher sacramental order above that of the three orders of deacon, priest (presbyter) and bishop. Accordingly, one does not become an archbishop by ordination.
