Re^4: Demotions of monks

There are plenty of clerical ranks left in the Catholic church. It even has some patriarchs, so we can reintroduce pope on the next level.

Or Nuncio somewhere near Cardinal.

No need to break the logic by introducing karate belts or ninja turtles.

I'm already confused by non clerical ranks like Sage or Saint.

A saint must be dead, JP-II was pope and had to die before canonizing thru the ranks of venerable, blessed and saint.

The afterlife offers even more heavenly ranks... Vroom could be an archangle

Curiously, Perl Monks was developed by students in a town founded by Dutch Calvinist separatists ... or as LanX once put it: Separatist Calvinists founded a Monastery with Popes :) In case they are of use, some more pseudo-religious titles that are not currently used here AFAICT: Cleric Divine Ecclesiastic Evangelist Lama Lay Preacher Mendicant Minister Missionary Oblate Padre Pastor Pontiff Preacher Rector Reverend Some female titles: Clergywoman Churchwoman Deaconess Priestess High Priestess Woman of the Cloth	[reply]
