Love the old style way they put "Sean Cardinal O'Malley." I was brought up saying "Francis Cardinal Spellman" and was never sure why the title came between the first and last name and exactly when it was changed to title, first name, last name. Perhaps Vatican II? I would look it up but this being Crossports, I know that someone already knows the answer off the top of his/her head or has more initiative than I do to look it up.  |

We could almost use "Someone here always knows" as a CROSSPORTS motto. (Of course, the next line might be "...and we are always willing to share...even when we don't."  ) |

Thanks, Crucis, but still a little up in the air, IMO. I gather 1st name, "cardinal," last name is still considered the "proper way" for a prince of the church to be named but I see it less and less frequently and now see more "Cardinal Timothy Dolan" but maybe that's is coming from non-Catholic sources that simply don't know any better. I guess I thought the protocol had changed or younger/modern cardinals just preferred the title first in order to keep first/last name sequence.

I am afraid it may just be "laziness" on the part of journalists who don't care to put in any effort to correctly address anyone in the Roman Catholic Church.  |
