(Hmm. If a religious order couldn't decide which of the two honorifics to use and wanted to avoid a schism, would they hold a reverendum?)
I think I love you.
Presumably "Reverend" can mean any of "requiring to be revered", "deserving to be revered", "wanting to be revered"...? Now you put it like that, it does seem a bit odd that clergy (who should presumable be aspiring to humility and meekness in general) should choose such a title for themselves. I do like "Reverent" much better. |
