I never got it presented on a lovely red cushion NO!
To be fair I was not alone but I felt as an English or even Scottish Bishop I was not top of the priority list. A lack of French was also not helpful.
So like any good Bishop I prayed for help & Jah answered by telling me to take a broom & sweep up. To make myself useful rather than moan.
It was while I was cleaning up I came upon a Star with my name on & a note.
Cardinal Bishop Syounger troublemaker lacking in finesse & etiquette.
Keep him waiting it serves him right for moaning about the French!
Now who wrote the note I do not know but I polished the Star, I had a letter from Rome to say I had been awarded such an honour so I wish to wear it with the pride & honour it deserves. It was awarded I’m told before I became a Cardinal for services to the Church in England which means more to me than reaching higher office.
I have to say my old friend if all French speaking Bishops were as kind & curtsies to me as you I would have nothing to moan about.
My acceptance speech I tried to prepare with no French skill was
Je voudrais remercier ceux à Rome de reconnaître mon travail que j'ai effectué pour l'église en Angleterre et maintenant en Ecosse. Je porterai l'étoile avec la fierté et l'honneur. Pour une telle personne d'origines humbles un ivre et un womaniser à lever tellement haut dans le bureau elle donne à espoir au tout ceux qui choisissent de suivre Jah
Please do not laugh it was the thought that counted _________________

A lot of French people has a lot of problem with the grammar, the spelling ...It's shameful for my country.
So, Syounger, never I will laugh with your french ! _________________ Brother Invisible007 |

It's funny as both of you said you would not laugh yet I hear a ringing in my ears
Perhaps it's what you don't say rather than what you do say
Perhaps one of you could translate & I could see if I would have made a complete idiot of myself or not? _________________

In the first sentence, I have just make a little change.
In the last, I suppose that "womaniser" is in fact "womanizer", in french it's "coureur de jupons". I have just a doubt with the word "ivre", so I have not includ this word in the correction.
Citation: | Je voudrais remercier ceux, qui à Rome, ont reconnu le travail que j'ai effectué pour l'église en Angleterre et maintenant en Ecosse.
Je porterai l'étoile avec fierté et honneur.
Pour une personne d'origine humble comme moi, coureur de jupons, elle donne espoir à toux ceux qui choisissent de suivre Jah.

Syounger, it was a good translation, intelligible, and a very good grammar : you have used the good tense (conditional for the first sentence, and future for the last). _________________ Brother Invisible007 |

Every Cardinal of the Holy Roman Aristotelian Church is "by right" a Grand Officer in the Order of the Star of Aristotle.
Other individuals recieve this great honor by their merits. By with of course I don't say that the Cardinals don't have their merits. When one is chosen to the cardinalate, it means one is worthy of such position. _________________

Thank you for the response, brother.
I am aware of that specific condition. Though I must apologize for not stating my question very well, ..of any other member of the Church with the exception of the good cardinals have been granted this merit. It is only out of pure curiosity that I asked. _________________

We tried to get the curia to give them to some members ... but yes! Nothing! That's why we have our own national order! _________________
