Question: what is the difference between reverend and very reverend in the catholic church?
Answer: “Revd” (“Rev” in the US) stands for “The Reverend” and is an honorific for an ordained minister, like The Honorable for a holder of public office. ... The Very Reverend is the normal honorific for a dean of the Anglican Church. Deans are usually chief priests of a cathedral chapter (made up of canons).
