NUNCIO

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 911 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
NUNCIO , or NuNTIUS APOSTOLICUS, a representative of the
pope
  sent on diplomatic mission. The nuncios are of
lower
  rank than the legati a latere, but have practically superseded them as ambassadors of thepapacy. Nuncios were permanently established at various courts and ecclesiastical centres during the 16th
century
 . According to the decision of the
congress
  of Vienna the diplomatic rank of a papal nuncio corresponds to that of an
ambassador
 . The
powers
  of a nuncio are limited by his instructions. If a
cardinal
 , as rarely is the
case
 , he uses the
title
  pro-nuntius. The pro-nuntius at Vienna has practically the position of a legatus a latere.
