A group of congregations or wards, generally about three thousand to five thousand members in five to ten congregations.

Stake doesn't compare to a regional bishop in the mainlines or the catholics, which I'm talking about.

I am not all that familiar with the Catholic heirarchy.

“A stake is an administrative unit composed of multiple congregations in denominations of the Latter Day Saint movement. A stake is approximately comparable to a diocese in the Catholic Church and other Christian denominations. “

From Wikepedia....

Who is it that is over a Catholic Diocese? Is it not a Catholic Bishop?
