MOST REVEREND

The 'Most Reverend' (Most Rev.) is a style applied to certain religious figures.

★ In the Roman Catholic Church (outside Great Britain), all bishops are styled the Most Reverend, as well as Monsignors of the grade protonotary apostolic ''de numero''.

★ In the Roman Catholic Church (inside Great Britain), Archbishops are styled the Most Reverend, with Bishops being styled the Right Reverend.

★ In the Anglican Communion, primates and archbishops (as metropolitan bishops of ecclesiastical provinces) are given the style (the Bishop of Meath and Kildare is also given this style for historical reasons).
