Territorial prelate

Okay kiddo, let's talk about territorial prelates.

You know how there are different parts of the world, like different countries and states? Well, in some of those places there are people who are in charge of a specific area, like a city or a region, and they are called prelates.

A territorial prelate is a prelate who is in charge of a specific piece of land, or territory, usually within a larger area. They have the authority to make decisions about things like religious ceremonies and practices within their territory.

Think of it like being the boss of your bedroom, but you still have to follow your parents' rules for the whole house.

So, a territorial prelate is like a boss of a smaller area within a bigger one, and they have special responsibilities and powers within that area.
