Camerlengo
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Camerlengo (plural: Script error: No such module "Lang"., Italian for "chamberlain") is an Italian title of medieval origin.[1] It derives from the late Latin Script error: No such module "Lang"., in turn coming through the Frankish Script error: No such module "Lang"., from the Latin Script error: No such module "Lang". which meant "chamber officer" (generally meaning "treasure chamber").
Description
Camerlengo has been used in the papal court for the following official positions:
- Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church, in the Vatican, senior administrator for the Holy See
- Camerlengo of the Sacred College of Cardinals, lapsed 1997
- Camerlengo of the Roman Clergy
Some other positions in the papal court were formerly termed papal chamberlains. Although usually given as an honorary award, the position involved some duties.
