Word: nunciature Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From Latin nūnciāre, nūntiāre (“to announce, report”), from nūncius, nūntius (“messenger”). Compare French nonciature, Italian nunziatura. 1. The status or rank of a nuncio (diplomatic representative of the Roman Catholic Church).

Example: This was the prelate chosen by the new Pope, Innocent X., for the nunciature in Ireland: a man of noble birth, in the fifty-third year of his age, of uncertain bodily health, of great learning, especially as a canonist, of a fiery Italian temperament[… Example: His ecclesiastical appointments showed how rapidly he had made his way, how supple was his mind: first of all secretary to the nunciature at Lisbon; […]. 3.

Example: The Warsaw nuncio was content to preach a spirit of peace, and was severely taken to task by the Polish press during the summer of 1920. This cast something of a shadow over the final period of his nunciature.
