Best Answer

Catholic Cardinals have nothing to do with states. A Catholic Cardinal is appointed by the Pope to be on his personal staff. A Cardinal is a member of the College of Cardinals, and they are appointed as the Pope's advisors, and in the case of the absence of a Pope, the Cardinals go into the conclave to elect a new Pope.

There are areas of the United States that are designated as dioceses. In each diocese, a Bishop is appointed by the Pope to manage that diocese. If a Bishop also happens to be a Cardinal, then that diocese would be headed by a Cardinal. "Cardinal' is a designation that simply means he is a member of the Pope's personal staff. A Cardinal is also a BIshop, and this is his major role.

Is a diocese headed by an archbishop?

No. In general a diocese is headed by a bishop, and an archbishop heads an archdiocese. The difference between a diocese and and archdiocese is size not importance. The plural form is still dioceses. Some diocese or archdiocese are actually headed by Cardinals. Many orders have provinces that are headed by Provincials, these provinces overlay the borders of diocese. The Catholic church considers all Cardinals, Archbishops, and Bishops as the Bishops of the Church and in the United States the leadership is called the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
