gocamino Fw: Santiago & "Pilar"; Templar's heirs

[Paul Newfield]

Rosina,

YOU WROTE...

The Santiago newspapers also report that Prince Frey Andrew Bertie,  the chief of state of Malta,  a Cardinal,  and the Grand Master of the Malta Order, arrived in Santiago yesterday with 225 Knights and Dames of Malta, from several countries, to pay homage to the Apostle  and to conduct a series of seminars with the thesis that the Templars have perdured over a millennium through various organizations worldwide.
It is gratifying that the Knights of Malta have also "Dames" and that they come from several countries.  Personally, I have a very soft  spot in my heart for the Templars. I'd like to know how one goes about joining a society that remembers and honors them. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~


It seems to me that the title "Prince" comes from Fra Andrew Bertie being called a "Cardinal", which is a "Prince of the Church".
In my readings, I have seen that PFAB, as Grand Master of the Order, has the "rank of a Cardinal".

My question:  Does PFAB get to sit in council and vote for the Pope?

Paul
