Talk:Monsignor

message: "Msgr. Newton was a bishop in the Church of England before being received into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church in 2011. Shortly after, he was ordained a priest and appointed to lead the ordinariate. As he explained, “I have the authority of a bishop, but because I am married, I am not able to be ordained a bishop.” http://www.catholicworldreport.com/2017/07/23/former-anglican-bishop-finds-a-home-in-the-catholic-church/

thread_title: Monsignors in the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham / St Peter

message: I added a statement about a Monsignor being able to request that his promotion not be made public, as I personally know of a case where this has happened.  I am a member of the St. Raphael's Cathedral parish in Dubuque, Iowa.  Priests who are assigned to the Cathedral parish as pastor are customarily raised to the rank of Monsignor.  We recently learned that the pastor who had been there prior to the current pastor had been made a Monsignor by John Paul II back around 1983.  But at the time he had requested that his being raised to that rank not be made public, and only a handful of people knew that he was a Monsignor.  It remained that way for over 20 years until he publically revealed it a couple weeks ago.  He said that he didn't consider himself truly worthy of the honor, and even after he made the announcement that he still wanted to be called Father.

:Different countries, different customs. In Germany there is one prelate calling himself Father directly, the Pope; and some that call themselves Father latinized, religious clergy, and the other probably wouldn't consider themselfes worthy of the title Father, opting for Reverend, Monsignor, Right Reverend Mr. Prelate, or Your Excellency or Eminency instead, or the respective more colloquial forms such as Mr. Parishpriest, Mr. Canon of the Cathedral, Mr. Prelate, Mr. Bishop, Mr. Cardinal. --77.4.46.189 (talk) 08:33, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Statement added

message: Apparently, Fr. Wach was a vicar general in the late 70s, and styled himself a monsignor then, well after the simplifications of Pope Paul VI.  As a reference for this kind of prelate existing, it is not obvious is has anything to do with a special indult. Practically, probably few priests are appointed vicar general who are not already a monsignor of some form. Also, "pileo" is confusing - "floccis" seems like a biretta tuft, but another section of the text uses the word "bireta"  "Pileo" should be a zuccheto but I wouldn't have any idea what "floccis" would be. Or could it mean some other kind of hat?  Gimmetrow 02:30, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "Monsignors appointed before 1968, for instance, retained some of the privileges after 1968."  That is also my understanding - a PA created prior to 1968 could still enjoy the use of pontificals.--Highdesert 16:24, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Titular prothonotary

message: I tried to clean up all these dead links but I ended up breaking all the templates. I'm pretty basic/old-school when it comes to refs and I only rely on templates for adding archived URLs. Some of the links do not have an archive that I could find. There's also that NYT article behind a paywall and a Catholic News article that's not dead, but it looks like it redirects to the current home page (no article). I wonder if most of these could be updated with new links or if the links are really needed -- most of these just looked like lists of members from around 2009 or so.

message: The article explains that M is not usually used in English for bishops, but the lead implies that it is.  I suggest something like "Monsignor is an honorific form of address for those members of the clergy of the Catholic Church including honorary prelates and canons.  It is the common term in Romance languages for a bishop and so while it is not used this way in English, it is used occasionally to refer in English to a bishop from a Romance-language community"--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 23:23, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

message: This is noted in recent changes.  Jorge Bergoglio, future Pope Francis, was from religious order and not expected ever to have been Reverend Monsignor himself.  Reverend Monsignor title was not revoked for those already having it. Carlm0404 (talk) 16:58, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
