The Reverend
The Reverend is an style (manner of address), honorific style most often placed before the names of Christian clergy and Minister of religion, ministers. There are sometimes differences in the way the style is used in different countries and church traditions. ''The Reverend'' is correctly called a ''style'' but is often and in some dictionaries called a title, form of address, or title of respect. The style is also sometimes used by leaders in other religions such as Judaism and Buddhism. The term is an anglicisation of the Latin ''reverendus'', the style originally used in Latin documents in medieval Europe. It is the gerundive or future passive participle of the verb ''revereri'' ("to respect; to revere"), meaning "[one who is] to be revered/must be respected". ''The Reverend'' is therefore equivalent to ''The Honourable'' or ''The Venerable''. It is paired with a modifier or noun for some offices in some religious traditions: Lutheran archbishops, Anglican archbishops, and ...

Pierre-Adolphe Pinsonnault
Bishop Pierre-Adolphe Pinsonnault, (also Pinsonnault or Pinsonault), (23 November 1815 – 30 January 1883), was born in Lower Canada and became a Roman Catholic priest in the Sulpician Order. Pinsoneault served as Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of London, Ontario from 1856 to 1866 in an atmosphere of turbulence. There was an initial adverse reaction to a French-speaking bishop taking over the London church as the cathedral of the new diocese. A variety of events occurred both with priests and parishioners during his tenure and, in 1866, Bishop Ignace Bourget, as result of an earlier request by Pope Pius IX, asked for and received Pinsonnault's resignation. After his resignation, Bishop Pinsoneault was assigned as bishop to the titular see of Birtha and resided in Albany, New York, until 1869. He then moved to Montreal. Quebec, where he performed various duties that required a bishop for the ultramontane Ultramontanism is a clerical political conception within the ...

Vicar General
A vicar general (previously, archdeacon) is the principal deputy of the bishop of a diocese for the exercise of administrative authority and possesses the title of local ordinary. As vicar of the bishop, the vicar general exercises the bishop's ordinary executive power over the entire diocese and, thus, is the highest official in a diocese or other particular church after the diocesan bishop or his equivalent in canon law. The title normally occurs only in Western Christian churches, such as the Latin Church of the Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion. Among the Eastern churches, the Mar Thoma Syrian Church of Kerala uses this title and remains an exception. The title for the equivalent officer in the Eastern churches is syncellus and protosyncellus. The term is used by many religious orders of men in a similar manner, designating the authority in the Order after its Superior General. Ecclesiastical structure In the Roman Catholic Church, a diocesan bishop must appoi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

William Hay (architect)
William Hay (17 May 1818 – 30 May 1888) was a Scottish architect who was actively working internationally from 1842 to 1887. A specialist in gothic architecture, he is primarily known for his work on several churches and cathedrals. His most famous structure is the Bermuda Cathedral in Hamilton, Bermuda which he designed in 1885. Construction of the cathedral began in 1886 and was completed seven years after Hay's death in 1905.
