Camerlengo

Camerlengo (plural: camerlenghi, Italian for "Chamberlain") is a title of various officials of the Papal court. It can refer to:
*Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church
*Camerlengo of the Sacred College of Cardinals
*Camerlengo of the Roman Clergy
Some other positions in the Papal court were formerly termed Papal chamberlains. Although usually given as an honorary award, the position involved some duties. Laymen receiving this honor are today called Papal Gentlemen, while clergymen are typically appointed "Chaplain of His Holiness", a form of Monsignor.
