Frage an die Wissenden:
Der besonders in Filmen vorkommende "Reverend" gilt also nicht bei den Katholiken, eher bei den Protestanten?
Wikipedia sagt:
ist das Pendant zu Hochwürden (also durchaus auch Katholisch), Hochwürden wird bei uns halt eher nicht mehr verwendet, im englischen ist es Sprachgebrauch.
Zitat Wikipedia:
The term The Reverend is used as an honorary prefix to the names of many Christian clergy and ministers.
The prefix is correctly called a style rather than a title or form of address. It is sometimes also used by leaders in non-Christian religions such as Buddhism.
In traditional English usage it is considered incorrect to drop the word "the" before "Reverend". When used within a sentence, "the" begins with a lower-case letter. The common abbreviations for "the Reverend" are "the Revd", "the Rev" and "the Rev'd".
Although there is no distinct plural form it is not uncommon to find "the Reverends" incorrectly used. (Adjectives cannot generally be pluralized in English.) When a number of clergy are referred to they should be styled individually, e.g. "The Reverend John Smith and the Reverend Hank Brown". In a list of clergy, however, "the Revv" is sometimes put before the list of names.
"The Reverend" is traditionally used with Christian names (or initials) and surname, e.g. "The Reverend John Smith" or "The Reverend J.F. Smith". Use of the prefix with the surname alone ("The Reverend Smith") is considered a solecism in traditional circles (although "The Reverend Father Smith" or "The Reverend Mr Smith" are correct though somewhat old-fashioned uses). So also with the use of the prefix as a form of address: in some countries Anglican priests are often addressed by the title of their office, such as "Vicar", "Rector" or "Archdeacon". They may also be addressed simply as "Mr Smith". In many Protestant churches, especially in the United States, ordained ministers are often addressed as "Pastor" (as in "Pastor John" or "Pastor Smith"). Some titles, such as Canon, may be used together with the Christian name or both names, for example, "Canon John" or "Canon John Smith". Orthodox and Roman Catholic priests are usually addressed as "Father", whether as "Father John" or "Father Smith". This latter practice has been introduced into the Anglican Church since the Oxford Movement began; naturally the appellation does not apply to women clergy. Some female clergy in the Anglican Communion use and prefer the style "Reverend Mother" or "Mother," though most are content with being called by their first names.
Und hier die Antwort auf alle Fragen zur korrekten Anrede:
Anglican Churches
* Priests are usually styled either as "the Reverend", "the Reverend Father" or "the Reverend Mother" (even if not a religious). Less frequently male priests are styled as "the Reverend Mr" and females as "the Reverend Mrs, Ms or Miss". Priests holding theology doctorates may be styled as "the Reverend Dr".
* Canons are often styled as "the Reverend Canon".
* Deacons are styled either as "the Reverend", "the Reverend Deacon", "the Reverend Mr" (males), "the Reverend Mrs, Ms or Miss" (females). Deacons holding a theology doctorate may be styled as "the Reverend Dr".
* Heads of some women's religious orders are styled as "the Reverend Mother" (even if not ordained).
* Deans are styled as "the Very Reverend".
* Archdeacons are usually styled as "the Venerable" ("the Ven").
* Abbesses, abbots and bishops are styled as "the Right Reverend".
* Archbishops and primates are styled as "the Most Reverend".
Catholic Churches
* A transitional deacon: "the good Reverend Mister" (permanent deacons may also be so called)
* Priests: "the Reverend Father"
* Priests with various grades of jurisdiction above pastor (vicars general, provincials of religious orders of priests, priors of monasteries, deans, episcopal vicars for instance) are "the Very Reverend"
* Abbots of monasteries are "the Right Reverend"
* Abbesses of convents are styled "the Mother Superior" with their convent's name following, e.g. "The Mother Superior of the Poor Clares of Boston" in written form while being referred to simply as "Mother Superior" in speech.[1]
* Monsignors are "the Reverend Monsignor"
* Bishops and archbishops are styled "the Most Reverend" in the United States and Ireland. In Great Britain and some countries of the Commonwealth, bishops are styled "the Right Reverend" and archbishops are styled "the Most Reverend".
However, none of these are ever addressed as "Reverend" or "the Reverend" alone. Instead, deacons are addressed as "Deacon"; priests are addressed as "Father"; prelates as "Monsignor"; bishops and archbishops as "Your Excellency" (or "Your Grace" for archbishops in the United Kingdom and some other countries).
American Lutheran Churches
* "Pastor" (such as "Pastor Smith" in more formal address or "Pastor John" in less formal) rather than using "Reverend"; however, "the Reverend" is also commonly used, particularly in written communication. In other Protestant traditions "Pastor" and "the Reverend" are variously used, with much regional and denominational variation.
Damit sollte bis auf die Nonnen alles ausführlich beantwortet sein....
