apostolic delegate |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The Pope\'s representative to a branch of the Roman Catholic Church outside Italy. Normally, therefore, the apostolic delegate does not enjoy diplomatic status but in the past he has sometimes functioned as a de facto envoy to a state. This was especially true of Protestant ones such as Britain and the United States, where until the early 1980s the political risk of openly accepting a papal diplomat was considered too high. Not surprisingly, it is not unknown for apostolic delegates to have previous diplomatic experience. The apostolic delegate sent to London in 1954 had before this been papal nuncio in Dublin. See also Holy See; pronuncio; Vatican City State. |
