Protocol 
How-To's for Addressing the Pope


Addressing the  Pope

Since the world has been without a true Pope for 40 years, from 1958-1998, the question often arises on how we should address the pope.  The answer is simple, with only a few options: 
  1. Dear Holy Father, (or)
  2. Your Holiness,


Offerings

The question is often asked on how one should write a check when making an offering to the Holy See.  A check should be made out to Pope Pius XIII.  If one should write a check made to his former name, Fr. Lucian Pulvermacher, the Holy See will simply double sign it with both names, and the bank will honor that. 

Remember that Our Lord praised the widow who put her "mite" into the Temple collection box.  God rewards His servants according to their sacrifices.  Use your discretion as to your support of the Church.  Your support of the Church is really the fulfillment of the Fifth Commandment of the Church, not just a free-will alms.
