Oh, I thought you were appointed archbishop by the Church. But I thought that in order to become an archbishop, you had to be elevated to the rank of archbishop so that you could perform purification rites.

"That's right. In this case, I have been specially designated as an archbishop because I have been canonized as a saint. However, as Ars said, I cannot perform the purification rites. Therefore, I will not be transferred to the center, and I will continue to lead the churches of the Fontana territory.
