Talk:Matthew Festing

Titles and Style
The article says "Matthew ranks as the highest official after the cardinals, and is the only modern leader of an entity within the Catholic Church, in addition to the Pope, to be considered a sovereign monarch". What about Joan Enric Vives Sicília, the Bishop of Urgell and a Co-Prince of Andorra? Doesn't he also fit this criteria?Pizzaguy875 (talk) 01:52, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Contradictory statements about Fra' Festing being 2nd or 3rd British Grand Master
The lead paragraph reads "He is the second Englishman to be elected Grand Master since 1258, the first having been his immediate predecessor Andrew Bertie." However, under the heading "Order of Malta", it states "He is the third English Grand Master of the Order, immediately succeeding the second, Fra' Andrew Bertie. The first was Hugh Revel in 1258." Hugh Revel does not have a Wiki with which one could check this statement. Can anyone confirm Festing's order in the...er...Order? Bricology (talk) 22:11, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Prince
Since the Prince and Grand Masters are technically sovereign princes, is there a category we can include them in under their rank? Prince of the Holy Roman Empire doesn't seem right, since that category was for princes during the time of the HRE. --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 22:41, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Use of Sir
Which of the knighthoods confers the title of "sir"? Hack (talk) 16:18, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * is that your joyous way to point us all to the fact that the OBE does NOT confer such style? Wefa (talk) 02:22, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
