Did they ever burn ...

Well, I am unsure what term Anglophones use when talking about the German thingies.

In English, the whole area was called the Holy Roman Empire, even though it was neither Holy nor Roman.  The ecclesiastical states in the Holy Roman Empire are referred to as either bishoprics or archbishoprics, as appropriate.  Some of the smaller ones, like Weingarten, we call abbeys or provostries, if it's just a monastery surrounded by farmland, or an Imperial City if it's bigger, like Rottweil.  (Mostly we just know about Rottweil for their dogs, which are very popular among the mulleted crowd in Pennsylvania.)

The ecclesiastical states on the Italian peninsula, prior to unification, were called Papal States in English-language gazetteers (and Pontifical States in some early U.S. Atlases).

Ah yes, there are those terms. But then, strictly speaking, they refer to any territory presided over by someone of the relevant ecclesiastical rank and not just under their temporal control. So a diocese is also a bishopric.

Was rare in Irish History... and the key hysteria happened in the 14th Century.

Pretty sure they didn't.  Although considering how religious my hometown is, I suspect they might have if it had existed in medieval/Renaissance times.

And the German prince-bishops' eccesiastical dioceses extended beyond the areas under their temporal control to boot!

Accusations of witchcraft remain common in Malawi, especially in rural areas. This can result in the accused facing social isolation, communal shunning, or in rare cases mob action. Some of those accused leave their homes for their safety.

Accused witches can end up facing criminal prosecution and detention (despite that fact that there's no formal legal basis to such actions - indeed, technically it's illegal to accuse someone of being a witch).
