 Archbishop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thus, when someone who is already a bishop becomes an archbishop, that person does not receive Holy Orders again or any other sacrament; however, when a person who is not a bishop at all becomes an archbishop, they will need to be ordained a bishop.
In the Eastern churches (Catholic and Orthodox) archbishops and metropolitans are distinct, although a metropolitan may be referred to as metropolitan archbishop.
An archbishop is equivalent to a bishop in sacred matters but simply has a higher precedence or degree of prestige.

 Catholic bishops and sex abuse - Database of Diocese & Bishops Involved (Warning: LONG LIST!)
As bishop in Tyler, Texas in the late 1990s, he let the Rev. John Flynn serve at a Longview church after the priest admitted sexual abuse of a girl in the 1970s and was removed from the largest parish in the San Antonio archdiocese.
Bishop Delaney initially said he thought the priest left because "he decided he didn't want to be a priest in Texas any more," then subsequently admitted that he had known Father Teczar was also a subject of the criminal investigation.
The bishop has said he delegated the matter to an assistant, who has testified that he accepted Father Guzman's characterization of the girl as a "precocious child who came on to him." The woman who caught the priest has said that the assistant urged her not to cooperate with police.
