Talk:Rui Valério

Name as patriarch
Portuguese-language Wikipedia says his name as patriarch will be "D. Rui I". The citations there make no mention of this. I've found just one source for that statement: https://www.impala.pt/noticias/portugal-e-o-mundo/bispo-rui-valerio-e-o-novo-patriarca-de-lisboa/

Still, I see no reason not to wait for an official announcement. I also wonder if he will use plain "Dom Rui". I think it's not customary to use the ordinal in a case like this. E.g., Pope Francis, not Pope Francis I. Rutsq (talk) 22:11, 12 August 2023 (UTC)


 * I've yet to see good evidence he's adopted either Rui I (or plain Rui). Even the source cited on the Portuguese-language equivalent of this entry is bogus, citing a source about his installation that never mentions this name. If anything, the Patriarchate is clearly using other names, not the traditional patriarchal name. The fact that there's a tradition doesn't mean he's following it.
