+civilised Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I suspect that it's the other way around. I.e. a Rector is 'self-employed' and receives his income directly from the congregation. As such, he cannot be 'sacked' (although his congregation can choose to go elsewhere!) OTOH, a Vicar is employed by a religious organisation, such as a diocese or monastery, receives a stipend, and can be replaced, reassigned, etc. That seems to be as close as we'll get - it's historical, based on the tithes. A Rector received all the tithes from a parish whereas a Vicar was employed by an institution ( commonly a monastery ) who 'owned' the parish and who paid the vicar to act on their spiritual behalf ( or vicariously ). The Vicar would typically receive a third of the total tithe. The only practical distinction to survive is that generally a Rector owns the freehold of the chancel, but not a Vicar. So it's a ding to Pajaholic Quote Link to comment
Pajaholic Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Thanks. Staying with the Eclesiastical theme, but stepping sideways (and cribbed from QI's "I" series): The Papal Inquisition continues to this day but under a different name. In 1908 it changed its name to "The Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office" and in 1965 to "The Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith". But, for the ding, can you name its leader when John-Paul II was Pope? Quote Link to comment
+Beach_hut Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the subsequent Pope. Quote Link to comment

+Beach_hut Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Thanks Pajaholic. Keeping with things Popey, the new Pope Francis is the first Pope to choose a new and non-composed regnal name since... who? Quote Link to comment
+Beach_hut Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 No, before him. Pope John Paul I took his name by combining the names of his two predecessors. I'm thinking of a last Pope to choose a completely new name. Quote Link to comment

Ok Pius....John....Paul......I'll gor for a : Pope Paul (don't know what number though) Just realised if they had a number it wasn't a compl;etely new name Edited April 24, 2013 by dodgydaved Quote Link to comment

The 1946 Cup Final was special for several reasons: (Derby County 4 -1 Charlton Athletic) The 1st after WWII. The teams were given bronze medals and gold medals later - shortage of gold - so the first time teams had 2 medals. The first where the same person scored for both sides: Bert Turner OG then scored for Charlton: But........what else unusual happened?............ Quote Link to comment
