John S Hart gets around a bit, doesn't he

[rod]

Dear Mr. THECORBYLOON Monica's on the phone! 

[THECORBYLOON]

Ah Monica...she has the prettiest clothes I've ever come across.......Tell her to hold on will you (now where did I put those cigars?)

[flaming]

How amazing!  I hadn't thought about it before.  Thanks.

[THECORBYLOON]

Eh?

Disappointing that the website doesn't say how to address a FORMER Pope! :-p

 

Is "John Hart" the US equivalent of "John Smith" in England?  (Don't be tempted to be smart, I'm not referring to the make of a good pint of smooth!)

Dear Mr ex President.

TCL - Thanks for the link, not Monica's sartorial habits.

Perhaps their total protocol re forms of address can't be as bad as ours is,  as we have instructions re all the aristos, too.

Perhaps the National Mediums Society would be able to help you with the correct form of address for former Popes....
