He had taken a DPhil but insisted on appearing in the lecture lists as 'Mr J I Catto'.

'Good morning, Reverend,' etc. Even worse, is 'The Reverend Jones'. It's like calling a knight 'Sir Smith'. An import, of course, from America. People are losing the ability to describe ranks correctly in this country now.

The equivalence between all these doctorates indicated in this way, is what I think you are taking exception to, Fr H. Maybe the other place has it right (its PhD gown is just a black MA gown with red facings -- and has no resemblance to the academic dress of Cambridge's higher doctorates)?<br /><br />william arthurshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447813388196156894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-3327150812079409922019-08-24T11:11:48.284+01:002019-08-24T11:11:48.284+01:00you are, as a dear friend of mine used to observe,...you are, as a dear friend of mine used to observe, 'precise, but NOT pedantic', Father!scotchlilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06518174475224623151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-62029230376208470252019-08-24T10:55:08.331+01:002019-08-24T10:55:08.331+01:00I do so agree.

And because of this I have heard Catholic friends also referring to the Priest's robes.
