Canon and Monsignor. However, from what I understand the concept of the cathedral chapter is quite week there. Anglicans still retain many more medieval titles related to cathedral officials (Canon, Prebendary, Archdeacon etc.) "Member of the papal household" is not as local in scope as canon of the cathedral chapter, I'd say.<br /> <br />Another non-gendered issue I have with the mandatum is envy/jealousy. If I were a priest (thank God, I am not) I would do one of two things. Either I would interview persons who wish to partake of the maundy, and seek their motivations (vainglory or piety?) Either that, or choose the maundy like the parish car raffle -- everyone's name in a tumbler. At least in this case the "winners" don't need to pay tax on their "gift" (<i>das Gift</i>, perhaps socially).<br />jordannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213316015209503694.post-75852154816329068682013-03-28T18:17:26.903-05:002013-03-28T18:17:26.903-05:00Washed my wife's feet the night of our marriag...Washed my wife's feet the night of our marriage.
