<DIV><BR>The Santiago newspapers also report that <STRONG>Prince Frey Andrew
Bertie</STRONG>, the chief of state of Malta, a
<STRONG>Cardinal</STRONG>, 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.<BR>It is gratifying that the
<STRONG>Knights of Malta</STRONG> 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. </DIV>

<DIV>It seems to me that the title "Prince" comes from Fra Andrew Bertie being
called a "Cardinal", which is a "Prince of the Church".</DIV>
<DIV>In my readings, I have seen that <STRONG>PFAB</STRONG>, as Grand Master of
the Order, has the "rank of a Cardinal".</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My question: Does <STRONG>PFAB </STRONG>get to sit in council
and vote for the Pope?</DIV>
