Архиепископ-митрополит

просто митрополиты - у православных, а это - католический ранг!

"Most archbishops are called so because they are in charge of an archdiocese, a diocese of particular importance. Most of the time, this importance is because the archdiocese is the *metropolitan* see of the ecclesiastical province in which the see is located. These *metropolitan archbishops*, in addition to the usual ceremonial privileges of archbishops, hold the responsibilities of a *metropolitan* bishop over the suffragan bishops of the province and are thus the only archbishops who wear the pallium by right. In the Roman Catholic Church, if the archdiocese is particularly significant, the archbishop may become a cardinal." (Wikipedia, Archbishop)

Митрополит

I think that's enough in itself. Other words for archbishоp are архиепископ and владыка.
